2023 vintage.

Raspberry sours tend to really perform well in terms of appearance and aroma and this is no exception. Beautiful ruby red in the glass with total clarity, although not much head at all to speak of. Looks like a fine red wine. Aromas are fresh crushed raspberry jam, fruit leather, cherry pie, pink lemonade, airheads candy, fruit chews, and a hint of wheat. Flavors lean very tart -- lemon juice, unripe raspberry, apple cider vinegar, salinity, drying oak astringency, and almost no sweetness at all. Feel is slippery and puckering. Tasty but a bit sour for me

Long sought after whale that I found at my local liquor purveyor …heck, I could have walked to this store( nah, I’m lazy). This is Blend 13. Ranked #2 on BA in the wild Al style and#65 overall ….call me Ishmael …let this whale hunt begin

The style according to BA is sometimes Belgian influenced, American Wild Ales are beers that are introduced to "wild" yeast or bacteria, such as Brettanomyces (Brettanomyces Bruxellensis, Brettanomyces Lambicus or Brettanomyces Anomalus), Pediococcus, or Lactobacillus. This introduction may occur from oak barrels that have been previously inoculated, pitching into the beer, or gained from various "sour mash" techniques. Regardless of the method, these yeast and/or bacteria leave a mark that should be noticeable to strong, and often contribute a sour and/or funky, wild note. Mixed-fermentation examples will display a range of aromatics, rather than a single dominant character.

Brewers notes : Atrial Rubicite is made from well water, barley, wheat, hops, farmhouse yeast, native yeast from the Texas hill country, souring bacteria and raspberries. It’s 5.8% alcohol by volume, has a finishing gravity of 1.005 and is 3.36 pH. It is unfiltered, unpasteurized and 100% bottle conditioned. Atrial Rubicite is our first beer to be packaged exclusively in 500 ml bottles.

Chilled bottle poured into a rinsed and dried Schilling teku glass. Deep ruby colored liquid crowned by a one finger pink froth. Settles to a pencil thick layer

The aroma? Waves of raspberry jam, raspberry tart , raspberries …it smells amazing …tidal waves of raspberry on the pour . Sniffing the glass also produces some funk with a whiff of oak

Taste is tart raspberry , oak , funky . The tartness dominates the flavor however the residual taste is raspberries. I roll my tongue over my teeth and gums and it’s like I had a carton of raspberries , wonderful

Mouthfeel is prickly tartness

Great beer, recommended
