Production & Heritage

More Brewing Co. operates out of Villa Park, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, and has built a reputation around bold, fruit-forward sour ales. Razzimus Prime is produced using a kettle souring method, where Lactobacillus is introduced during the brewing process to develop controlled acidity before the boil. What distinguishes this expression from more restrained fruited sours is the sheer volume of raspberry added — a massive fruit charge that drives the beer's intense berry character from first pour to final sip.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The pour reveals a rusty mauve color with heavy haze. The scent opens with an immediate wave of branch-ripe raspberries — juicy, radiant, and unmistakably fresh, as though you've crushed the fruit between your fingers.

Taste: The entry is sweet and fruit-forward, carrying flavors of vanilla, cereal grain, and shortcake. A creamy tartness floods the mid-palate, joined by supporting citrus notes of lemon and lime. As the flavors develop, tangy accents of white grape, gooseberry, and passionfruit emerge alongside the dominant raspberry backbone.

Finish: The finish is tart yet smooth, with a creamy mouthfeel that avoids any milky heaviness. Lingering raspberry sweetness balances the residual acidity, tapering off clean and refreshing.

How to Drink Razzimus Prime

Pour cold into a tulip glass or wide-mouthed goblet to concentrate the berry aromatics and showcase the hazy mauve color. This beer drinks best on its own — the fruit intensity and balanced tartness stand up without any modification. For a beer cocktail approach, Razzimus Prime works in a Berliner Weisse-style Radler blended with sparkling lemonade for a sessionable summer drink, a Berry Shandy topped with ginger beer to amplify the citrus-tart interplay, or a Fruited Sour Float paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that plays directly off the shortcake and cream notes in the base beer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Razzimus Prime taste like? Razzimus Prime delivers an intense, fresh-squeezed raspberry flavor layered over a creamy, tart base with supporting notes of vanilla shortcake, citrus, and tropical fruit like passionfruit and gooseberry.

How does Razzimus Prime compare to a fruited Berliner Weisse? Both styles rely on Lactobacillus for controlled sourness and often feature fruit additions, but Razzimus Prime's massive raspberry charge and 7.5% ABV make it considerably fuller-bodied and more fruit-intense than most traditional Berliner Weisse beers, which typically sit between 3–5% ABV with lighter fruit presence.

Is Razzimus Prime good for sipping on its own? Yes — the balance between creamy sweetness and bright tartness makes it highly drinkable neat from a glass, though the 7.5% ABV means it carries more weight than a typical session sour.

What foods pair well with Razzimus Prime? Fresh goat cheese or chèvre salads complement the tartness. Berry-topped cheesecake mirrors the vanilla-shortcake notes in the beer.

Dark chocolate with raspberry filling creates a layered dessert pairing.

Why Razzimus Prime?

The defining feature here is the MEGAdose raspberry charge — this is not a sour ale with a polite suggestion of fruit, but one that commits fully to the berry and builds a layered experience around it. The kettle souring process gives More Brewing precise control over the acidity, resulting in a tartness that lifts the fruit rather than overwhelming it. With an 89 on BeerAdvocate and a creamy, smooth mouthfeel that avoids the one-dimensional pucker of lesser fruited sours, Razzimus Prime stands as one of the more accomplished raspberry sour ales coming out of the Illinois craft scene. For drinkers who want maximum fruit impact without sacrificing drinkability, this four-pack delivers exactly that.
