The Zythologist Rubidium Raspberry & Rose Cream Sour

The second addition to The Zythologist's periodic table is a fresh cream sour brewed with bucket loads of raspberries, lactose, and rose petal distillate. This elemental beer focuses on the rosaceae family, a parent rank to rose, raspberry, loganberry, and blackberry. The genus of those berries is rubus, which comes from their characteristic red colour, and the inspiration for the name of this beer, Rubidium.

This beer has a balance of tartness from the berries, a sweet, smooth creaminess from the milk sugars, and delicate floral notes from the roses. A beer with enough complexity to make it unique and intriguing and with plenty of freshness to make it a smashable summer sour.
