Bruery Terreux Frucht Boysenberry
What the brewers say
“Frucht is our series of fruited Berliner weisse–style beers. Known for a tart flavor profile and traditionally low ABV, our German-style wheat beer gains even more funky notes and natural earthy-woodiness from its fermentation in a large oak foeder.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Fruit character is both tart and sweet. Floral. Moderate lactic acidity blends with the fruit and maybe just a touch of Pedio. Sweet berry aroma.”
Flavor: “Puckering sour with strawberry, boysenberry, and blackberry in a light body. Some hops bitterness. As it warms, the berries come out. The sweet dark berry start flows into a semidry tart finish. Hint of tannins add some complexity. Nice balance.”
Overall: “Crisp, fruity beer with enough sour to make your lips pucker. Get ready to kiss your mate. Great color. Nice blend of sweet and tart. This is a slow sipper. The fruit adds a nice complexity and sweetness to round the beer out a bit.”
