Pomegranate Plum Raspberry Slush
Eagle Park Brewing

 

 

Magenta pour with a pinkish head. EP getting into the slushy game, let's review the strengths and weaknesses of what is going here because I think they are onto something. Strengths include the bursting fruit flavors of the taste, the plum stand out powerfully but the pomegranate puts it over the top. The aroma is also a strength but not to the same degree, pomegranate gets kind of lost with the raspberry and plum dominating. The body is the weakness, starts tart with edges of sweetness but thins and drys out by the finish, leaving a syrup impression. Some metallic textures too as it warms. Still, a nice slushy

L: A pomegranate juice coloration with a wide finger of mauve head, minimal retention or lace.

S: Earthy and jammy, but also boozy.

T: Follows the nose. A bit bitier and boozier than most in the category. Not as raspberry jammy as the nose, but quite earthy from the pomegranate.

F: Off-dry and a touch tart as well.

O: Pretty good brew. Points for going their own way direction, rather than mimicking the others in the style out there.

 

 

 

Pours a raspberry purple color with a pink head, Smell is plum and Raspberry. Taste is fresh and fruity forward, notes of plum and cranberry mix well with raspberry. Mouth is fruity and tart some bitterness from the pomegranate but otherwise a delight to drink very good.
