Hazy red and gold with a pink, fizzy layer of foam. The aorma is an interesting blend of sweet raspberries, light caramel, light biscuit and interesting sour quality not unlike a mild blue cheese. The body is light and crisp on the tongue, and frankly quite pleasing to drink. The fruit and sweetness come out more in the flavor with a noticeable but mild sourness that becomes apparently only at the very end. A couple of final thoughts: first, this was good, but the sourness seemed fake in some way. I don’t mean it as an insult, but my impression was that it was someone contrived and not as authentic as with, say, a Cantillon. Secondly, despite the odd looks from the bartender at the Pilgrim Bar, I enjoyed this. Maybe not many men order this? They should, it’s pretty tasty.

Nov 8, 2007 Draught at the brewpub, a very cloudy pink with a thin bubbly head. Some tangy berry aroma but very light. Very carbonated palate with a sourness that dominates the raspberry flavour a little. Some champagne characteristics, but maybe too sweet.

Aug 24, 2007 Thanks to ghawener. Sparkling Wine. Fizzy, high carbonation with no head. Sweet and malty with a distant raspberry flavor.

Feb 20, 2007 <i>Bottled, thanks Fukito! </i> Hazy reddish amber, small almost pink head. Tart aroma of fresh respberries. Sweet and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Intense tart raspberry flavour that balances the sweet malt well. An unusual but worthwile beer wit refreshing qualities despite it’s size and relative sweetness.
