Portland, Oregon’s official nickname is ‘The City of Roses,’ but craft fans know it better as ‘Beervana.’ 

Today’s Fruited Sour Ale from Great Notion proves it can be both!

The brewers created this beer in honor of the city’s Rose Festival — an annual tradition since 1907 — and it tastes like eating a handful of juicy red raspberries while wandering through the Portland International Rose Garden. More than 10,000 rose bushes bloom there each year, and setting foot anywhere near it on a summer evening is an olfactory delight.

Just like this beer! Open the can, and one whiff will whisk you away to a sanctuary filled with blushing blooms and bouncing berries. 

To transport you there, the crew at Great Notion accentuated their tart and fruity Raspberry Sour with the flavor of real roses, so every sip is like taking your taste buds on a picnic. 

If you get the chance, we highly recommend visiting Great Notion and the beautiful city of Portland — it truly is the promised land of beer and roses. Until then, you can snag a taste of the Northwest with Ramble on Rose.

Yes, music fans — the name and can art are a nod to the Grateful Dead!
