ET Stay Home 16 - Lemon, Raspberry, Concord Grape, Walnut
Evil Twin Brewing

Canned 11/30/23

This sounds like quite the interesting combination of adjuncts for a Kettle Sour. You don’t often see grape in these, and the addition of walnut is even more rare. I get excited by odd combinations like this, so let’s crack it open and see if it’s any good

Pours an opaque reddish purple with 2 fingers of pinkish white head that slowly fades to a thin cap and leaves decent lacing

Damn, this is super loud in the nose, but seems a bit sweet. I’m picking up on aromas of red grape, tart raspberry, brown sugar, jammy blueberry, raw walnut, lemon zest, and vanilla

There’s a much more defined tartness in taste that really helps this one. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting tart raspberry, lemon juice, jammy grape, vanilla ice cream, raw walnut, blueberry skin, and light brown sugar. The swallow brings notes of tart raspberry, red grape, jammy blueberry, lemon juice, brown sugar, toasted walnut, vanilla ice cream, and light strawberry

A medium body pairs with gentle tingling carbonation, resulting in a slick beer. Finishes a bit sticky yet somehow it’s still crushable

This one is great. It can be hard to nail these heavily adjuncted Sours without them being too sweet but this one has it right

 

One of the best yet of this style. Not overly sweet, no sugary stickyness. Lemony tart compliments the sweet gape very nicely. Very, very nice.
