Frucht: Berazzled
The Bruery Terreux

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A: Lots of raspberries, light cherries with a very faint tartness.

A: Super pink, totally opaque with a thin head that quickly form a ring around the glass.

T: Huge amount of raspberries, light cherries, with a faint tartness and bready quality in the background.

M: Light bodied with moderate carbonation.

O: Solid; the beer is tasty and refreshing, but the raspberries overwhelm and the beer could be much better if the raspberries were dialed back a bit and the sourness was sharper and more pronounced.

On tap at the Bruery tasting room on 09/13/16.
Pours hazy pink. Smells like a vague mixture of unripe fruits. The taste is moderately sour with a pleasant blend of sweet and tart berries. Light texture with prickly carbonation. Good stuff.

 

 

 

 

Terruex really smashed it with their Frucht series of fruited berliners. BeRazzled highlights raspberries. Served on tap into a tulip.

This beer looks gorgeous! Blush, hazy red, with good carbonation adding a pleasant level of foam. Very reminiscent of other top berliners I've gazed upon from barrelworks and degrade. The nose is bright and acidic, with hints of fruit and sourness.

When you stop staring at the color, and finally take a sip you get hit with a burst of tart acid that moves into a TON of berries and fruit. Now you know where the color comes from, a lot of raspberries! And while maintaining the tangy sourness, the beer moves into this really nice sweet profile that balances this weisse to near perfect. Crisp, refreshing - such a delight.

This beer is easily my favorite in the Frucht series. I took a growler home, and prayed they bottle it.
