Cloudy copper body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, berry, light caramel. taste is medium sweet, berry, some caramel, light earthy. Alcohol presence felt but not tasted. Medium body, some stickiness. Fruity but not too sweet.

Draft sample at brewpub. Poured reddish brown color with average rocky white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Aroma was moderate Dark berry. Flavor was moderate berry with a good balanced berry finish of moderate duration. Medium body with pleasing smooth texture and soft carbonation. An average fruit beer.

A decent and fun fruit beer, enjoyed fresh at the brewpub. The fruit is right there and very refrehing. Its the real thing. Dark yellow with virtally no head. Fruit aromas. Carbonation is suitable.One I would have again.

Growler courtesy of Leopoldstoch. Pours reddish copper with a creamy white head. Smells of raspberries, dough, some creamy hints, some earthy elements. Taste is sugary like corn syrup with some fruity elements. The ice tea flavor described in the review before mine is a good way to describe this one. Mouthfeel is syruppy with a corn sugary finish. Pretty average for a fruit beer.

UPDATED: JUL 23, 2010 Sample at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week. This brew is a clear amber color with a thin and creamy off-white head that evaporates to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of berries and wheat. Light body with flavors of raspberry, wheat and some sweet malt. The finish is tart with a fruity aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Tap at Cornerstone. Orange pour with a white head. Mild nose of wheat and berry. Lighter palate. Taste is mild beery, decent enough.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark caramel-brown color with a large white head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was faint mixed berries and not a whole lot else. The flavor was tart with faint vague berries followed by a somewhat sweet and malty middle and a long mixed berry finish. Medium body. Ok.

Reddish amber color with a thin off white head. This is definitely a fruit beer. The nose is all berry, mostly raspberry. Juicey beer with tons of sugar and raspberry flavors. It does not suffer from the artificial taste of some fruit beers, but the hop bitterness in the finish seems a bit intrusive. Interesting fruity beer.

Good balance of malt and fruit. Low bitterness. Cloudy dark amber. A bit of acidity from the fruit.

Sample on tap during Ohio Brew Week. Clear red / amber color, like how you’d expect a raspberry ale to look. Minimal white head, little lace. Dry texture, light smooth carbonation. Light, tart sweet taste, nice natural berry and strawberry flavor. Decent and drinkable.
