Red Angel is a barrel-aged sour beer from Wicked Weed’s exclusive Angel Series, crafted to showcase the full depth and intensity of raspberry flavor. This American sour ale, with 7% ABV, is first aged in large oak puncheons with an addition of 1.5 pounds of raspberries per gallon.
It then undergoes a second fermentation with an extra 2.5 pounds of raspberries per gallon, resulting in over 4 pounds of fruit per gallon in total. The outcome is a deeply fruited, refreshingly tart beer with a vivid red-pink hue.
Aromas highlight ripe raspberries, soft oak undertones, and subtle fermentation notes. On the palate, it’s juicy, vibrant, and layered - combining bright acidity and natural fruit sweetness in a full-bodied expression.
Red Angel exemplifies how precise brewing technique can transform a single fruit into a complex, elegant, and memorable sensory experience.
