Raspberry Saison

A complex aroma of oranges, ripened fruit, and Belgian yeast tones prepare the palate for a burst of tartness from the sour mash, all mingling on the  tongue with earthy tones from the French Saison yeast and some pepper from rye used in the grain bill. A hearty dose of wheat imparts a smooth mouthfeel to the beer, which finishes dry and refreshing. The addition of raspberry puree lends not only a pinkish hue and the flavor of raspberries, it accentuates the tart characteristic of standard Sumerduck. The result is a semi-tart fruit beer that’s not overly sweet, but is extremely refreshing.
