Kulshan-Wander Raspberry Lager
Kulshan Brewing Company

a really nice beer here, super underrated in my opinion. the color is gorgeous, stained glass pink and immaculately clear, not a bit of sediment here at all, and a nice airy white head, looks dead sexy in a stemmed wine type glass. aroma is slightly faded raspberry, this might not be the freshest, but its really natural to me, more tart than sweet, but a little bit of both, simple and bright, and i can smell and taste the lager yeast too, i always like when i can. usually fruited lagers taste cheap and one dimensional to me, and while this one is a bit simplistic, its flattering rather than boring, the raspberry isnt over the top, it still tastes like beer, and there is a nice and even unexpected crispness to it, rushing carbonation and relatively dry for being as fruity as it is. super pleasant to drink on, looks like rose wine, has a romantic element to it, and really is very good. i would drink this on the regular if it were available to me in colorado. i havent had many beers from these guys, but i have loved the ones i have had. this is stellar, a solid base lager and well fruited. summery and yummy!

 

 

 

 

A collaboration brew between Kulshan and Wander breweries in celebration of Bellingham Beer Week 2016. The beer is available on draft and in sixpacks of 12oz cans. Pours a bright pink, with light pink head. Strong raspberry scent, with low malt and hops. Berry a bit more earthy on the palate, with a slight cracker malt flavor. Crisp and smooth body, with a tart, yet sweet finish. Very good drinkability. Worth trying if you see it.
