This iteration of Broken Angel was fermented with our Native New England mixed-culture and aged in new American oak foeders for one year before re-fermenting atop Plums and Raspberries. Red Broken Angel has a hazy deep red color with aromas of raspberry preserves, candied fruits and kiwi. The palate contains a lemony tartness, an intense overripe plum flavor, and light oak that adds structure. Immensely drinkable and the perfect beverage as warmer weather approaches!

Pours a murky, dirty, orangish color. Quite pleasing 1 finger white head. The head retention is decent, and I like how it dissipates to a creamy foam ring around the edge of the glass.
FUNKY! Damn, the aroma is wild and funky, and that's just from pouring the beer. Up close is quite a complex funk. Very floral, and then the raspberries come out. More of a wild, sour raspberry, than a sweet raspberry. Quite pleasing.
Taste - The raspberry started off slightly sweet, maybe from the plums. The raspberry then turned quite sour, wild, and funky. That sweetness up front and the wild, funky sour on the backside really pack a powerful one/two punch.
The tart, wild, funky just clings in my throat, and doesn't let go at all. This beer is also quite full bodied, and thick.
You want a wild, funky beer - this is a good choice for you. Trillium is known for their NEIPAs. They produce amazing stouts also. Now add wild ales to the mix of beers they just knock out of the park.

Dark salmon with a loud fizzy carbonation that settles to a soft pink ring. It clouds up substantially towards the end of the bottle.
Smell readily delivers plum and raspberry with a toasty charred oak accent and hints of rhubarb pie.
Taste immediately brings a juicy splash of fresh plum before transitioning to pear, apple and raspberry with a hint of toasted pie crust. A sharp wine oak twang comes with a super tangy grapefruit sourness that is cushioned by a softening carbonation as it goes down semi-dry.

Big thanks to smanson56 for this!
750 ml bottle poured into a tulip
A- A hazy orangish red with a two finger off white head.
S- Tart, pulms, raspberries, oak, fruit skins, touch of funk, very different than Broken Angel.
T- Sour, pulms, raspberries, fruit skins, oak, mild funk, touch of sweet pale malts.
M- Smooth, light to medium body.
O- A solid sour, worth seeking out. It is like night and day compraring this to regular Broken Angel, seems like the different yeast and the fruit turned this into a completely different beer.
