Beret is as artistic as those who wear its namesake cap. Our brewers developed a silky, full-bodied wheat ale which we began fermenting with our house yeast strain. To finish the fermentation, we added our collection of barnyard bacteria, intended to slowly sour the ale, bringing out a slight funk and refreshing piquancy. Finally, a small dose of pureed raspberries were added for just a hint of fruity tannins, putting the berry in Beret.

Sample at the taproom. Cloudy orange-gold color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of raspberries, funky yeast and wheat. Medium to full body with a tart raspberry character and notes of bready malt and yeast. The finish is funky with a berry and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

750 ml bottle from the Reserve Society. Red murky with brown hues. Thin head that is just a few bubbles here and there. Aroma is not exciting; sour grain and smashed raspberries. The aroma is the only thing this has going for it.
I’m just not fond of this Brewers sours, entirely to much vinegar. Vinegar lingers through out the sip. Which is similar to every other sour ale from The Bruery. Lasting sour grain with notes of old gym socks. It does display a pucker in the taste buds but mostly due to red wine vinegar. No thanks

Poured from a bottle. Aroma has a medium light raspberry note with some light tropical fruit and citrus notes. Light stone fruit notes as well with some faint acidity. Medium light wheat notes. Pours a hazy, golden straw color with a medium large , moderately thick, white head that exhibits good retention. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with medium acidity. Quite a bit of stone fruit notes with some lighter tropical fruit. Light raspberry notes, definitely lighter than in the aroma. Medium light wheat character. Light citrus. Light phenolics. Light mineral notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation and is very soft and creamy. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice beer but I wish it were like 6% instead of 9%. Patrick, why do you try to get me drunk? I already gave you all my money. I like that the fruit and acidity are both nicely balanced and do not dominate the beer. The character from the yeast is still allowed to shine.

Cloudy yellow 1 finger head. Faint raspberry aroma. Creamy dense head. Tons of raspberry taste. I would not seek this one out.

From a bottle at the Wicked Weed Funk Asheville Fest 2015. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Flavor of sour peaches and tart berries.
