Style: Blackcurrant/Raspberry American Sour
This indecently-hued American sour ale marries the complexity of juicy, ripe berries with a bright, clean acidity. Red ripe fruit is at the fore, while white oak adds a slight woodsy spice. Aged noble hops add a layer of earthy funk to the long, tannic finish.

A hazed golden rose ale with a thin rosey head. In aroma, nice raspberry jam with rosehip, light mineral notes, light acidity, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet tart raspberry jam with good acidity, tart cherry, light Epsom salts, very nice and refreshing while still challenge. On tap at Beer Authority NYC.

Tap at Gingerman for lunch on rainy day. Pours a purple grapefruit color with small sudsy head that dissipates away. Nose is lovely fresh berry and oak. Tastes more of currants than raspberry which I appreciate, plenty of spicy wood, champagne, light lemons, and white pepper. Very tannic leads to just a dry killer finish. Not sweet or overly sour. But a nuanced great fruited sour.
