Let's just get down to it, shall we?
BG Poured from a 650ml bottle into a stemmed tulip, release #30, 9.8% ABV, the website says this release was brewed October 9th, 2014 and packaged October 17th, 2014.
A Ruby in color with hardly a finger of cotton candy, blush head. It quickly dissipates, and only a light film remains. The occasional splotch and spot of foam cling to the glass as I drink.
A Wheat, strawberry jolly ranchers, very light floral hops, tart raspberries, brett, champagne yeast, hint of butterscotch
T Absolutely everything follows the nose to a T, though I must say it’s not as sweet as I expected. It’s more of a sweet-n-low type of sweet than the sugary variety. There’s also a bit of funk on the finish. Well appreciated!
M Light carb gives a nice zip on the tongue, and leaves a slightly dried palate. Med-light body
A Barnyard funk, grainy raspberries
C A few years ago, this would have been one of my favorite beers on earth. But my palate has grown away from sweeter beer. Additionally, this beer screams summertime to me. I can see myself visiting this beer again once June and July roll around. Add some brandy, ice, and muddled fruit, and you’ve got yourself a badass sangria! Or even just plop some vanilla ice cream in there and have yourself a raspberry beer float. Think of this as Lindemans Framboise’s cousin, but less than half as sweet, and more than twice as alcoholic.
FP Strawberry shortcake, pear and walnut watercress salad with champagne vinaigrette, bacon pancakes with apple compote
