The Name of the Rose
The Referend Bier Blendery

on draft at the brewery - served in stemmed glass

dark pink in color, thin white head that fades. Starts with raspberry , the cherry comes in the finish. Fairly tart. Some vanilla mixed in the fruitiness of the aroma

This one pours a fairly vivid red color, like pure cherry juice, with a very small head, and no lacing.

This smells very acidic, with tons of cherry, a bit of raspberry, lemon spikiness, dirty funk, and a touch of vanilla.

The lack of carbonation does affect the flavor a little bit, but this still works well enough for me. The fruit flavor is killer, sour, with just a hint of sweetness. There's more cherry than raspberry, with just a slight hint of creamy vanilla on the finish. There's also a very prickly and dark funk to this.

This is lighter bodied, and basically still, making it a fairly slow sipper.

Though I wish this had more carb, that's not a dealbreaker. I just imagine it's Tilquin.

 

Deep pinkish red in body with head that dissipates. Aroma of sour watermelon, cherries, lemon skin. Tastes of sour watermelon, light cherry, lemon, vanilla. Light bodied with light carbonation.
