Whirlycaster - Raspberry, Blackberry, Meyer Lemon, Milk Sugar, Vanilla & Ro
Roaring Table Brewing Company

Pours a cloudy raspberry juice color with a finger of off white foam. Nose is lemon, fruit juice, and lacto sour. Taste is off, fruit notes are there, some sweet vanilla is also present but there is definitely a dish soap taste that is unappreciated. Feel is thick but too chewy and not very smooth. Overall, didn’t care for it.

Served from the can in a Roaring Table shaker pint glass.

The newest incarnation of the Whirlycaster sour IPA pours a dark grape juice topped by a half-finger or so of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises mixed berries, lemon rind, and powdered sugar. The taste follows suit, emphasizing the mildly tart berry goodness, though the lemon upgrades to zest and plays a larger role, even if it's still stuck in the background. The body is a stolid medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a drying finish. Overall, a tasty, tart little offering, a joy if you're really into berry flavors.

Pours with a ruby color with a fizzy head.

Tropical nose with hints of vanilla. Flavor is very reminiscent of Tahitian Treat soda, combined with a nice sweet-tart candy finish.

You can also separate all the individual components to taste, so was well executed not only as the parts but the balance of it all combined. Mouthfeel was fizzy with med to high level of carb.

Solid for the experimental nature of this, which also hit some nostalgic notes in my olfactory hues.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on November 21, 2020.
