Prince sang that rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof but at Green Gully Brewing, Luke Smith knows raspberries taste cool when piled into a barnyard beer. The Phillip Island brewer secured some farm-fresh berries and introduced them to his base farmhouse recipe that's made with his house yeast and one fermentation later, we get Rapsberry Beret; a fruited beer with a whole lot of comnplexity.
Pouring with a picturesque pink hue and lavishly large white head, the beer offers up plenty of saison dryness alongside a spice-cupboard's worth of cloves and pepper. The added fruit meanwhile is a mix between raspberry juice and a more rich side that taste more like those berries have been baked inside a cake or a slice. Much like Prince's track, it's leisurely combination that could easily be played on repeat time and time again.
