Braaaaaaaains - Plum, Raspberry & Passion Fruit
Drekker Brewing Company

Drekker Plum/Raspberry/Passionfruit BRAAAAAAAAins Double Fruit Smoothie Sour, 7.5% ABV. Pours thick and murky deep red, with a 3-finger pink head that left puree residue. Nose is strong raspberry, plum, light passionfruit, and vanilla. Taste is strong and tart raspberry, plum, and vanilla, slightly sweet and salt on the close. Excellent thick and smooth mouthfeel, owing to the fruit puree and lactose. Overall outstanding. This is the tartest of the BRAAAAAAAAins variants I've had, usually they're a pastry sour.

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy purple in color. It poured with a quarter finger high pink head that left lots of "slushy" rings of bubbles around the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of passion fruit are present in the nose along with notes of plum and raspberry.
T: The taste follows the smell, but has stronger flavors of raspberries and a light amount of sourness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit "slushy" and tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is packed with lots of aromas and flavors of fruit and is hardly sour at all.

Serving type: can

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 12/15/20, so 6-7 weeks old.

Looks very good in the glass. Thick purple body with a paler head. The head shrinks to a thick ring and covering, leaves layers more than lacing.

Dull but pleasing mixed fruit aroma.

On tasting, the plum and raspberry come through quite well, passionfruit not so much. Somewhat tart, lightly sour.

Mouth full, finish thick, tart, and fruity.

Overall, just a hair below their best fruit sours, which makes it merely excellent.

 

Pours a thick Raspberry purple color. Smell is raspberry and passion fruit. Taste has fresh edit purée of mainly raspberry and then fruity berries, Mouth feel has some tartness with fruit smoothie sweetness. Drekker is the gold standard for fruited sours.
