Mikkeller Raspberry Blush Berliner Wiesse

Here we are at the end of the sour road. Mikkeller Brewing has produced some fine sours to date and this is no exception. Berliner Wiesse is a traditional sour style, originating in Berlin. This style can be brewed with wild yeast, or kettle brewed. The grain is mainly wheat, with some barley. Raspberry Blush pours a pink grapefruit hue with a thin white-ish head. The tartness is mid-range, it might be a good introduction to sour ale neophytes. The main flavor is, naturally, raspberry, and oddly, coffee. I'm picking up some grapefruit as well. Not the most exciting sour, but fairly decent.
