Double Raspberry Black Currant Kettle
Arvon Brewing Co.

A - Pours a dark reddish purple with a large fizzy pink head. No lacing.

S - Aroma is big raspberry and black currant.

T - The taste is big tart raspberry, black currant, lemon and a light yogurt like funkiness.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a drying finish.

O - Solid fruited kettle sour. Tons of natural fruit flavors without being overly acidic. Nice approachable fruited sour.

This one pours a purplish/reddish color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

There's lots of raspberry mainly here, with a light bit of black currant. It definitely smells fruity and juicy, but not quite to the level of stuff from Mortalis/The Answer/450N, etc.

I like the idea of this a bit more than the typical heavily fruited smoothie style sours out there. This is a bit more approachable and less gloopily executed, with a lighter taste, but all the fruit flavor still there, and still pretty strong. There's a light creamy yogurt-like funky acidity here that works well.

This is medium bodied, juicy, and drinkable, and not too thick.

This is pretty solid stuff - I've dug the small amount of beers that I've had from Arvon so far.

 

From can to a tulip glass; burgundy in color with one finger light pink head; raspberry on the nose; tart raspberries on the tongue initially followed by slight currant; not thick; very good example of a kettle sour!
