Jamberry
Lamplighter Brewing Company

Not normally the style of beer I would drink, but if anyone can make this work I feel like Lamplighter could. Can date smudged

Pours a rosy pinkish-purple small fizzy head with lower retention, a touch of lacing, cloudy murky berry reddish-purple color

Nose brings loads of jammy berry fruit, almost like the filling of berry pie, boysenberry stands out, and some generic bramble berry, a bit of creamy base malt, doughy as well, don't really get hops

Taste brings bitter bramble seed tannin mixed with some grassy spicy hop bitterness, a bit of doughy creamy malt base with some raw pie crust kinda thing, lots more berry jam, boysenberry and blackberry dominate, jammy fruit, the tannic seed and spicy hop bitterness clash with the jammy fruit and it becomes unpleasant, which is what i expected of this style, Drier finish with a weird almost ashy flavor from the seed tannin and hop flavors

Mouth is med bod, little creamy juicy, med fizzy carb

Overall unfortunately about what I expected for a style like this, jammy fruit is nice but the bitterness from the hops and tannic seed like character really clash and the beer is not really enjoyable

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy grayish pink in color. It poured with a short white head that quickly completely faded away.
S: Moderate aromas of rhubarb are present in the nose along with notes of raspberries.
T: The taste has moderately strong flavors of rhubarb along with notes of raspberries, the latter of which linger into the finish.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer does a very good job at combining the aromas and flavors of rhubarb and raspberry. I would say it is more of a fruit and field beer than it is an IPA.

Serving type: can
