Unique Aspect
Starting as a pink peppercorn saison, Fruitbooter really comes into it’s own with the artiful use of blending. Selecting a special few from our barrel library to enhance the flavour of the saison and boost it’s tartness to new heights. Then come the raspberries, as fresh and ripe as we could get them, straight from Somerset.
The peppery saison, acidic barrel addition and juicy raspberries make for a tart, jammy, mouthwatering beer.
Food Pairings
Acidity and fruit are the main players in Fruitbooter, contrast them with sweet chocolate fudge cake to heighten the raspberry character while cutting through the cream frosting.
Alternatively leave the port and balsamic reduction off a well seasoned venison fillet - acidity cutting the meat while the fruit provides counterpoint to gamey meat and the pepper marries with the seasoning. Perfect!
