What Our Editors Thought
Big berry notes in the nose with just a touch of spicy cinnamon. The sip drops down an octave, transposing the typical berry notes and allowing them to echo through the hall. It's spacious, but a touch thin, with a drying minty herbal note that cleans up the finish.
What Our Panel Thought
Deep raspberry aroma. Notes of blackberry and cherry. Light acidity. In the flavor, fruit is well represented and in the forefront. Very late in the retronasal, a bit of unexpected malty graham cracker gives a bit of a pie/cobbler character to the beer. Mild acid flavor. Very fruit-forward and drinkable.
What the Brewers Say
Wild ale aged on raspberries, bottle-conditioned.
