what we could wish for history
At some point I’ll have to be more careful with my receipts. For the moment it’s just a minor annoyance that I don’t have the exact price of this fruit sour from my dear good beer place, but I can be pretty sure it’s close to the other two. I’m straying from my path of darkness, but once in a while we need a little contrast to know where we like to be. It’s a good northern beer, from the Swedish Fermenterarna brewery. They know how to make some wild and tasty stuff, so I’m not too concerned about trying a sour. Also, raspberries are awesome, even in beer. There’s No Better Rhyme. Raspberry, Ginger & Lime, down the hatch.
There’s that gassy sour beer aroma! It’s also tinged with raspberry and lime, as advertised. I don’t think I get any ginger in there, although there is sort of a crackery scent hiding in the background. There was an exuberant head at first, but it vanishes within seconds, not like last week, although that head did collapse eventually too. Tangy raspberry sails in first, and the others might scurry behind it in its shadow. I manage to catch some lime trying to sneak by, but the ginger is well hidden. After I while I think it must be in the richness of the beer with a depth of flavors that fruit alone wouldn’t give you. It isn’t exactly an earthiness, but there’s a definite flooring to the taste. it also turns a little dusty after a while, lending more texture and making you take more notice. It’s one of those beers that doesn’t quite quench your thirst as you’re drinking it, one along the lines of wine and champagne. I could blame the fruit, I guess. Still, a fresh flavor and a pleasing color with a spectrum of sensations to please the whole year through.
I forgot to take the picture! Believe me, it was a raspberry sorbet
