pFriem La Mûre BA Ale 2019 (Blackcap Raspberry and Marionberry) 6.49% Review

Lambrusco-like, with deep, rich purple-red inky hue, where La Mure departs from the sparkling red wine is the nose: blue cheese. An unmistakable earthy funk laces through tart berry and stone fruit pits, in a light and pillowy, chewy carbonation. La Mure is not an “easy” beer, but it is a delightfully challenging one that is dark, weird, and endlessly compelling. Drinking this tastes like you’ve accomplished more than you have — like you’ve eaten crackers with funky cheese and fruit, and perhaps chased with the aforementioned wine.
