What Our Editors Thought
Candied berry essence in the nose conveys strong expectation of sweetness. The sip is effervescent with a strong carbonic bite, softened by fringe berry notes that linger as retronasal. Tightly defined and highly polished.
What Our Panel Thought
Fairly strong essence-forward fruit-candy aroma, like chewable vitamins or antacids. Flavor is less sweet, with low acidity. Finish seems a bit hollow; not much there besides the sweet, lingering essence. Might not disappoint typical seltzer drinkers.
What the Brewers Say
A fresh-picked take on a classic, Wild Basin Black Raspberry bursts with jammy, sun-kissed, slightly tart berry flavor.
