Beer of the Week

The beer: Raspberry Soiree (Berliner Style Weisse w/ Raspberry)

Brewed by: Ithaca Beer Company, Ithaca, New York

Description (from the website): "Our new spring sour showcases the naturally flavor-packed raspberry with a unique and refreshing beer that strikes a perfect balance between tart and sweet. Enjoy the beautiful pink hue, and balanced profile of our latest limited release."

Would I buy it again?: No. I could appreciate a subtle raspberry taste mixed in with the beer. But this beer was not subtle. This beer was subtle in the same way a punch to the face is subtle. This beer shouts in your face, "HEY! DID YOU KNOW I'M MADE WITH RASPBERRIES!" It's a good thing my brother doesn't care about beer, otherwise he might be slightly miffed I didn't like a beer from the town he's going to school in.
