I’m getting a little international with this selection, since we might as well. Who knows how long the world will last? It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve picked up a Scandinavian beer, although there was a Lervig not too long ago. I know it’s been some time since I’ve had a Swedish beer, probably the last one was in Taproom many months ago. It was definitely not a sour, though, and not from Brekeriet. This Wrapped In Red is a wild ale, with a collection of fruit of that color, even though black currant sounds like it should be slightly different. If you recall another certain curranted brew, it was so red it was almost purple. I wonder if I’ll get a Kool-Aid in my glass this time?
It looks like a typical sour with a little bit of red fruit, although the color is not especially saturated. It’s sort of a watermelon color. The head also isn’t very resistant, which also is not too unusual for sours. There’s barely any aroma, just a hint of scrubby fruit, I think it’s only strawberry that I can identify. It’s kind of dry and sharp on the tongue, but definitely with a juicy sourness, much like its purported ingredients. I’m not sure if I can tell that there are cherries and raspberries, but the currants and strawberries are front and center. It’s a mellow and light example of a wild ale, not overwhelmingly sour but with just enough to keep your attention. There’s also some sediment in the bottom, so don’t lose focus when emptying the can.
