Three Taverns Rapturous

ABV: 5% | IBUS: 5 | SRM: N/A What the brewer says

“The (literal) fruit of our Sour Asylum series, Rapturous seduced palates from the first pour, earning it the honor of being our first canned sour. A Lacto-fermented sour ale, matured on raspberry puree with a wheat and Pilsner malt base, it refreshes with a tart fruit-forward flavor profile.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Nice raspberry on the nose, but a delicate sweetness comes through on the back. Mild tartness.” Flavor: “The beer has a nice balance of fruit sweetness with big raspberry, a touch of bitter, moderate malt/wheat sweetness, and a touch of acidity. The tartness is delicate and balances well. Clean, refreshing, tasty.” Overall: “Rather straightforward beer with the raspberry dominant, some tartness, and not a huge amount of complexity. It showcases the raspberries without being too sweet. Refreshing.”
