Pinot Noir Raspberry Blonde – Tin Whistle Brewing


From Penticton BC’s Tin Whistle Brewing comes their “Pinot Noir Raspberry Blonde” a beer barrel aged in Pinot Noir barrels.  The beer pours an orange colour with a very small head.  The aroma consists of raspberries, fruit, wine and a hint of oak from barrels.  The flavour is of raspberries, cherry, mild tart, pinot noir, oak, mild grains and tannins.  This beer actually reminds me a little of a Kriek although its not a cherry beer.  The alcohol content comes in at 5%.  This was a quite tasty take on their Blonde ale and makes sense it won a Gold for fruit beers in the BC Beer Awards in 2016.
