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.

Sampled @ Borefts 2015. Lightly hazy pinkish light amber color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste a bit like a radler, some artificial red fruits and (Dutch) "aanmaak ranja". Not bad though. .

Thx! for sharing. Sampled draft @ Borefts 2015. Day 1. Reddish amber, little white head. Nose is oddly sour fruits, rotting berries, fizzy. Taste is oddly milky, sour plaster, dough, sugar, thin & fizzy. This one didn’t feel entirely right. A bit lost on me.
