yespr (7843), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 6, 2008 From tap at OBrians. Pours hazy to murky purple with a creamy pink head. Mild acidic and spiced blackberry aroma. Flavour is quite acidic/citric with a nice berry fruity flavour. Lingering fruity and citric finish. hopscotch (4679), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Aug 23, 2008 Draft... <b>RBSG ‘08</b>... Lightly hazed red ale with a small, creamy, pink head. Decent retention. Earthy, mildly fruity nose. Light-bodied with Champagne-like carbonation. Stingy with the berries, but pretty darned sour with almost no residual sweetness. Finishes crisp and tart, and then dries out at the very end. goldtwins (3747), Nesconset, New York, USA Jul 31, 2008 Tap @ O’Briens. Poured a hazed red with a light pink head. The aroma is of sweet and mildly tart raspberry. The flavor has just a hint of tartness. So much for the name. Also some wheaty notes with mild raspberry. Light bodied. beerguy101 (3547), Newark, California, USA Aug 10, 2008 Tasted on tap at O’Briens. This fruit beer pours a medium purple color from the tap. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is blackberry, malt and some funk. A medium bodied fruit beer. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are earthy. Nice blackberry flavors, very clean and semi-sweet. There is a touch of funk and tartness but not that much. Nice balance. Good carbonation. It’s very good as a fruit beer, not so much as a sour beer. The funk is there, but very subdued. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter with a slight touch of sourness. Vac (2274), San Diego, California, USA Aug 1, 2007 On tap at Liar’s Club. Pours with a crystal clear red body topped by a medium thick, pinkish head with some lacing. It smells like easter egg coloring...loaded with vinegar notes. The flavor is slightly sour yet a touch sweet with notes of vinegar and fruit. Light bodied, crisp and dry.
