Imperial Witbier, 8% ABV, sour mashed 1-2 days, and fermented with a blend of Berliner Weisse culture and Belgian Witbier yeast. Beer is barrel fermented in large red wine barrels (132 gal. barrels). Raspberries are added to the beer towards the end of fermentation directly to the barrel, and aged on the raspberries for a minimum of 1 month. The Berliner culture contains souring bacteria and the raspberries will add acidity to the beer. Brewed to commemorate Bottleworks 12th Anniversary.

Pours a dull orange hue with a slightly hazy clarity and no head - just a tight band around the shoulders. Nose expresses citrus and brine. Taste follows nose with the addition of some lactic notes - I don't really get any fruit. Mouthfeel is light in body with a carbonation shy of lively and a mild acidity. All and all, an interesting beer. I definitely get the Berlinner qualities. It seems closer to that than a American Wild Ale.
