Destihl Raspberry Lynnbrook

“Light, tart, citrusy. Orange aroma is reminiscent of digging your fingernails into a fresh easy-peeler. On tasting, it’s more lemony up front but shifts to orange mid-sip with a slight graininess to the malt character. Perhaps needs a bit more carbonation for a refreshing summer-afternoon sipper.”

“Bombastic strawberry aroma and flavor assault the senses in a good way, like a sweet, strawberry daiquiri, without a hint of alcohol. This is mock-daiquiri served at prom. A sugary, strawberry Starburst in liquid form. The mango flavors are promptly pushed to the back of the line. A semi-smoothie beer in appearance, texture, mouthfeel, and flavor. They forgot the sour (and the beer!). Ends in a cotton candy–like finish that stays on the tongue.”

**Aroma:** “Light lemony acidity, sulfur, and sweetness up front, with a distinct, pleasant aroma of fresh raspberries, light banana, and pear. Funky and earthy character, with an intriguing floral spiciness that adds to the fruity complexity.” **Flavor:** “The raspberry dominates, with hints of underripe tartness and sweetness, then gives way to a subtle lactic tartness, which carries a bit more thanks to the dry, light body. There’s a hint of hops bitterness and light banana, as well as very light wheat malt character and simple sugar. It finishes dry and light.” **Overall:** “An exquisite balance between fruit and funk, with a very light body and light acidity. It’s straightforward, easy drinking, with a touch of sour. It’s a well-designed base beer supported by thoughtful, delicate fruit additions.”
