The Raspberry & Lime Sour’s tart yet fruity profile pairs beautifully with a range of summery foods. For starters, try it alongside goat’s cheese, feta or creamy mozzarella—the beer’s acidity cuts through the richness and lifts delicate flavours. It’s also an excellent match for seafood, especially calamari, prawns, or citrus-marinated white fish. The lively fruit notes echo well with sweet and spicy dishes, making it a great complement to Asian-style slaws, satay chicken skewers or chilli lime grilled tofu. Looking for vegetarian options? Serve it with a couscous and mint salad or courgette fritters with lemon yoghurt. When it comes to dessert, it shines next to lemon tart, raspberry pavlova, or white chocolate cheesecake, mirroring the fruit character while keeping the palate refreshed.
In the glass, this sour beer pours a hazy pinkish-golden colour with a soft off-white head. The aroma bursts with ripe raspberry and fresh lime zest, backed by subtle wheat and lactic notes. The flavour is bright and clean, with tart raspberry leading the way, quickly joined by citrus lime and a subtle pucker of acidity. The finish is crisp and dry, not overly sweet, making it incredibly drinkable. Its mouthfeel is light and lively, with gentle carbonation enhancing the refreshing quality and keeping it balanced and moreish.
Hope Limited Edition 36 Raspberry & Lime Sour is ideal for anyone looking to explore something a bit different in their craft beer selection. It’s perfect for summer days, garden gatherings, or simply unwinding after work with something tangy and fresh. Whether you're an experienced sour drinker or a newcomer to the style, this one is accessible, balanced, and bursting with flavour.
