Welcome back for Round 4 of New Oliver, The Belz Are Ringing Beer Sunday (Week 710) brought to you by Peter Belz of Shangy's Distributing in Emmaus, Steve Jones of Oliver Brewing Co. in Baltimore, MD & The CANQuest (tm)! Today is going to be a great one for drinking & reviewing a horizontal of Oliver BC CANs.
From the CAN: "Waiting, Waiting, Waiting"; "In celebration of the birth of Eva Pearl Jones[,] we present to you a Wheat Ale brewed with rose petals and fermented with pureed raspberries. She's my Summer babe. Oliver Brewing Co. has been proudly brewing craft beer in Baltimore, MD since 1993."
I built this one this morning, so I am responsible for everything from the pic to the Style. I could not find anything on the brewery's website about it, but the label's verbiage did not bespeak "Sour" outside of the name. Given its adjuncts, I went with Fruit & Field, but it is all subject to ChANge, beginning … NOW!
I Crack!ed open the vent & once again went with an inverted Glug since these are all extremely fresh CANs. It was also a brimful craft CAN, which is like getting a Baker's Dozen. I marveled at what I saw as it poured forth - the raspberries had rendered it a beautiful deep pink, nearly magenta! It was also doing a pseudo-cascade as if formed a brief two-plus fingers of fizzy, foamy, soapy, pinkish-white head with limited retention, falling away to wisps, but leaving some nice lacing in its wake. Once everything settled, I was left with a glassful of hazy, pinkish liquid (SRM = N/A) & a curiosity as to how much filtration Jones employs in his beers. Nose was easily identifiable as raspberry, but it did not have anything that stood out as "sour". Mouthfeel was thin-to-medium, not watery, but not much beyond it, either. The taste was raspberry, definitely & something else, curiously. It kind of put me in mind of a raspberry Gose, but imprecisely. Rose petals were undoubtedly the culprit, but it was a new one on me. It had a pleasant tartness, but if Jones is confusing "tart" with "sour", he is not helping anyone. Tart is lip-puckering, which this was while sour gets you under your earlobes in the hinges of your jaw, which this did not. I stand behind my choice of Style for this one. Finish was tart, dry, raspberry fruity & very refreshing. This would be really nice on a hot, humid Summer's day.
