What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Bright spritzy blend of the three fruits, almost smells like a juice cocktail. Raspberry and cranberry, and a little bit of cherry. Sweet and fruity with some sherry notes.”
Flavor: “Each berry carries a different part of the flavor. The tartness from the cranberry balances well with the delicate sweetness of the raspberry and the richness of the cherry. The base beer is a bit of a mystery, but is likely a sour brown of sorts. A supporting roasty malt profile that definitely supports the fruit flavors. Good balance and complexity. Very drinkable with a great finish.”
Overall: “A good complex beer that has both the fruit and malt characters that support each other, but it would be good to taste more of the base beer to help balance out the intense fruitiness. This would only add more complexity. Nice beer!”
What the Brewers Say
“The brewer lets the beer macerate with fresh cherries, raspberries, and cranberries. After this maceration in oak, the beer re-ferments in the bottle.”
