Wild Ale with Raspberries Aged in Oak Barrels
This is a blend of two oak barrel-aged beers rested on a colossal 420 lbs of Oregon raspberries (nearly .5 lb of fruit for each bottle)! The beers bring a bright lemony acidity from our house culture. The result is a jammy fruit flavor and aroma, with balancing acidity from the beer.

Bottle pour shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy, pale red, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is strong oak, tart-over-sweet raspberry. Taste is strongly tart raspberry (not quite sour), oak. Frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Strong flavors of oak and tart/sweet raspberry. Avoids being sour but more tart than I would generally enjoy. Well crafted.

500 ml bottle. Aroma is bold oak barrel, rather bold raspberries, lactic acid. In the flavor the oak is sharp with some lactic acid. Raspberry is represented well throughout the sip. Not sweet at all. Mild sharp pucker in the glands. This is a true sour ale.

LCI. Jammy raspberry, with some funk and citric acidity. Barrel presence makes itself known, but not intrusively.
