Modern berry ale with a sweet and softly tart tastescape. Chokeberry juice is fermented with a wort packed with extra light caramel malts at a ratio 1/7. That allows to degrade the berry`s natural astringency to a crispy dryness that ends in a juicy fruitiness with some light malt sweetness.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

On tap at Miezis & Ko, Riga Pours a slightly hazy raspberry red with small pinkish head. Nose has vanilla and redcurrants – what is a “chokeberry” ? Mouth is dominated by the sourness of red berries, but also some juicy sweetness with butter and a hint of diacetyl. A light malty base as well with low carbonation. Tis OK – but I’m not really a fruit beer person.

Tap @ Borefts 2015. Piinkish light amber color. Soft berry aroma. Perfumed berry flavor. Sweetish with just a hint of sourness. Nice.
