Meersalz - Raspberry/Vanillin
Narrow Gauge Brewing Company

Pours orange with a heavy haze to the translucency. Head is a finger of white foam. Aroma is heavy raspberry, which is brief, and then dominated by vanilla bean. Vanilla has a quality vanilla bean note, not synthetic smelling like some. Salt and coriander add a little nuance, but they're minor compared to raspberry and vanilla. Flavor profile is a little more thin than the aroma suggested, bundling semi-sour raspberry with vanilla bean, coriander, and sea salt. As a whole, it leans tart. While vanilla bean dominates the aroma, it really only shows itself in a flash the last third of the flavor profile. Mild stone adds some additional flavor. Mouth feel is medium-thin with a thin effervescence. It falls short of being crisp. Overall, the aroma and the flavor profile more or less match up in storyline, with the aroma coming off much, much stronger.

Served in a 15.5oz Spiegelau tulip from a 16oz can.

16oz can. Poured out a hazy, pale orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of raspberry, tart lemon, vanilla and some wheat. Great raspberry taste with vanilla and a tart bite.
