Aroma: Up front, there is a faint mustiness. To compliment, the tartness from the fruitiness permeates the nostrils, but the musty scent still remains a dominant, but paralleled character.
Taste: Interestingly, the beer has a salty foretaste. The tart flavor of the raspberries comes second hand. There is a fruitroll-up-esk flavor to the beer. No medicinality, like the Wisconsin Red. There isn't a syrup flavor, which makes it more authentic I feel. Raspberry tart. Some grit and tannic flavor at the end.
Mouthfeel: Crispy feel and actually quite light in body. Bubbly with a bite about it. Some sour/acidic feel to it that nearly puckers the mouth. This reminds me of kombucha.
Overall Impression: Interesting, while incorporating a strange after flavor. There is a lot going on in this beer, the saltinesss, lack of malt, fruitiness, musty, and tart. Dry, but strangely refreshing. Nevertheless, I don't see myself seeking this beer out again. Perhaps the shelf life is sacrificed with the fruit addition and the yeast.
