Bramble On Rose
Ore Dock Brewing Company

From a 12oz can with a date code of 6/20/2023
Look: slightly hazy golden body with some fakes/sediment chunks that very slowly settle to the bottom. A ok white head that leaves some lacing.

Smell: Raspberry and rose, sweet malt and that Belgian earthy yeast smell.

Taste Follows the nose and in that order. But there is a flash of floral honey sweet malt just after raspberry and rose in the beginning. The Belgian taste comes out more as it warms. Slightly sweet overall.

Feel is rather thick and syrupy.

An interesting beer. But not really for me. Not something you drink more than one can of at a setting. But I wouldn’t mind having another can in fridge.

From a can.

The beer is a murky and hazy pouring beer. I get some clarity when I hold it to the light, but I also get floaties in the glass. The head comes to 1 finger, white, fluffy and frothy looking. The head retention is pretty good, and there's a bit of lacing on the glass.
The aroma is a nice raspberry aroma. Some sweetness to it, some tart. I also get a hint of Belgian yeast in it with some grassy and floral notes.
Taste is full of raspberry that hits up front. There's some sweetness to it as some tartness. The wildness from the Belgian yeast comes into play on the back. Lots of earthy, grassy, and floral notes.
The body is decent for the ABV. It really doesn't drink like an 8% beer at all, which could be a bit of trouble.
This is a higher octane beer, but is actually pretty damn refreshing on a nice summer day.

 

 

 

It's got a decent raspberry taste but still tastes like a beer rather than a fruit beer.
