Deep, super hazy ruby and pink coloured body with a thinnish, off-white head that fades very quickly and leaves literally nothing on top, after a few seconds. Aroma of super pungent and soured raspberry notes with a lot of icing sugar and tart fruit notes with a lot of fructose around and some fresh strawberries as well - very nice in the nose, at least. Medium-bodied; Strong raspberry and strawberry flavours dominate with a lot of soured and tart flavours with a mellow dose of sugars from icing sugar and a little from the leftover fruit sweetness and a mellow yeastie quality at the end. Aftertaste is very soured and tart with a lot of sweetness still around and a fresh fruit note from raspberries (of course), strawberries, blueberries and a tiny bit of alcohol noticeable at the very end - very nice throughout. Overall, a very nice fruited beer with fresh raspberries noticeable, a lot of tart, yet sweet flavours, but not cloying and a crisp flavour throughout in a robust quality - much better than I expected and great to save for my final day here to celebrate Alaska! I sampled this 65 cL bottle, purchased from Brown Jug in Fairbanks, Alaska on 25-June-2021 for US$8,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Anchorage on 01-July-2021.
