20oz pint at the brewpub in Oliver Square where this was concocted by Gunther - though I'm not sure about his role in creating the name, which I find quite appealing.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with one skinny-ass finger of wispy and bubbly pale pink head, which leaves a few remote specks of spotty islet lace around the glass as things quickly move forward.
It smells of semi-sweet raspberry cream pie (almost, but not quite as good as my Mom's was), sort of tart lactic notes, a further bready graininess, and some mildly phenolic floral essences. The taste is tart raspberry and lemon juice, sour cream, slightly edgy yeast, biscuity and crackery pale and wheaty malt, and some gentle leafy, earthy, and estery floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its understated yet supportive frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and pretty smooth for any sort of sour ale. It finishes well off-dry, the somewhat moderated raspberry dessert character presiding.
Yeah, this is one tasty fruity brew, bordering, but not really falling into candied territory - it's no surprise that every server that I've asked about this particular offering essentially swoons when I mention it, and I'm rather glad that I finally got to try it here, at its point of origin. And I agree, no schuss is required here, in the least.
