1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20Draught at brew pub. Dark body. Weird sour taste that brings up flavors of blue cheese. Whatever the intention, this one was not on the money. Couldn’t finish.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark brown with a reddish hue when held to the light. Decent tan head. Aroma is straight raspberry and so is the flavor except it’s slightly ruined by a little metallic taste mixed in there. The acidity is just too high and so it finishes tart and dry.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear deep reddish brown with a tan head that has a slight red hue and dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of raspberries that are mainly sweet with a hint of tartness. Flavor starts with sweet raspberries that transition to a slight tartness and has a hint of roasted malts in the finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Raspberry, raspberry, raspberry! The fruit flavor is very nicely rendered with just the right amount of sour and tartness. Unfortunately, it overpowers all the other flavors. Dial it down a notch or two, and it’ll be a winner!
