Mother Earth “Raspberries” Returns

Mother Earth Brewing (Kinston, NC) is re-releasing Raspberry from the Windowpanes Series. Each of the four beers in the series features North Carolina grown fruit, aged in various barrels.

Fourth in a series of four North Carolina inspired beers, Raspberry Window Pane is a double American Wheat beer fermented with vast quantities of this treasured North Carolina fruit, then aged in pinot noir and chardonnay barrels for three months.   Anticipate a prevailing aroma of berry, blended with spice, vanilla and oak: and a dominate berry flavor joined by a slight oak character and sourness.

If you love lambics,wild ales, and sours, read further. Rodenbach – one of the world’s leading brewers of sour beers is bringing you a new one. Caractére Rouge (Red Character) features red fruits like cranberries, raspberries and sour cherries, aged in oak.

The exclusive RODENBACH Caractere Rouge, with an alcohol content of 7%, is the result of a 6-month maceration with fresh fruit (sour cherries, raspberries and cranberries) of a beer which matured in oak casks for 2 years. After its maceration, the beer is re-fermented in the bottle. Flavourwise this fruit beer has a rather sour taste, but of an exceptionally pure nature. Its light, residual sugars balance out the triangle of sour, sweet and dry flavours. This beer evokes the delicacy and experience of a fresh Burgundy wine. 

Style: Flemish Red Ale (w/ Cranberries, Raspberries, Cherries. Oak Aged)
Availability: 750 ml bottles
Arrival: TBA

7% ABV
