Raspberry Cannibal
Other Half Brewing - Center Street

Extremely opaque light ruby whitish color. Not exactly a beautiful color but definitely what you would want from a smoothie sour. It tastes like they made they beer directly from raspberries. No wheat or malt or anything. Is that how it's made? No idea. Ingredients lists just raspberries, vanilla, and milk sugar. There is certainly plenty of each. It's tart both in a fruit sense but definitely in a lactic sense, almost like some sort of lassi. I think some malt character starts to show itself in the after taste, but who knows. The feel is very effervescent, and it would be easy to assume that there is some live fermentation contributing to its carbonated character. If you want a traditional beer, this isn't it. This is for the lovers of the smoothie style sour and it's a very well done beer within that vein. It's nothing but fruit character, smoothie, and sour.

 

13 oz pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Pours a bright raspberry red with almost no head or lacing. Aroma and flavor feature tart raspberry and sweet vanilla. Not any malt or hops to speak of. Mouthfeel is sticky and syrupy and almost flat. Overall it's sweet, flat, and nonimaginative. Not undrinkable but not something I'm ever going to drink again, either.
