Odell Brewing Company Friek [ ale with cherries and raspberries added, aged in oak barrels]
Appearance: pours a medium brown/amber, slightly transparent with a slight head that dissipates immediately
Aroma/Smell: a light fruity, slightly sour yet noticeably sweet smell
Taste: tart fruit profile, raspberries and cherries highly detectable with an extremely high carbonation and dry finish
Mouthfeel: light bodied, dry finish. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
Overall/Drinkability: An extremely drinkable beer to those that are a fan of sours. However, if skeptical of wild yeast flavors and the unpredictability that sours deliver; drink when embarking upon an adventure. Highly recommend getting your hands on a bottle of this, even if it is outside of your comfort zone. As a fan of sours, I loved the characteristics of this beer and will drink it again without a doubt.
