It's sour time! Destihl Brewery has been brewing a sour series;
Lynnbrook is a raspberry flavored Berliner Wiesse, a wild sour wheat beer. Wild sours ferment using "wild" yeast, i.e. yeast that isn't added by the brewer, but the ale spontaneously ferments due to ambient yeast in the environment. Berliners usually are 25-50% wheat and generally are flavored with added fruit or fruit syrup.
Lynnbrook pours a pale red with a scant pink head. It registers 4 IBUs, hardly any hops at all, probably the lowest bitterness rating of any beer that I have ever reviewed. At 4.2% ABV, it definitely a session beer. Obviously there's a strong raspberry taste, but there's also strong hints of lemon and honey.
If you're a sour fan,
Lynnbrook should be on your shopping list.
