nbutler11 (77), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 3, 2008Poured a hay/almost hefeweizen color from the tap with a white head. The aroma and taste of berries dominates this beer, which finishes dry--much like a barleywine. Refreshing pour for the summer. funkdragon23 (1), Chicago, Illinois, USA does not count Jul 22, 2008 12oz. poured into a glass. Nice frothy head, the first sip was clean and, well, "raspberry-y". The fruitiness wore off as the glass emptied, distinguishing this ale from the Belgian lambics I’m better acquainted with. I very much enjoyed the subtlety of the raspberries here: more of a guest-star rather than the main attraction. Good balance of hoppy and malty with a pretty terrific finish. Went great with my gourmet burger. A unique, refreshing summer ale. I’d order this again, with or without a meal. DrHomolka (577), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jul 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy copper color with a nice white head and a substantial amount of sediment that drops to the bottom. Aroma is, yes, raspberries. Not overly strong though quite obvious. A normal grainy beerness is underneath the pleasant though not earth-shattering berry aroma. Taste is clean, smooth, fruity- though more in a normal ale way than rapsberry though they are noticeable too. This is pretty standard for its class. Good not great, drinkable but not special. KieferUGA (306), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jul 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a murky, light gold. Very little head. Aroma of tart raspberries. Mostly malt flavor, just a slight hint of any raspberries. Dry finish. Just ok for me. Monger (446), Roscoe, Illinois, USA Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a medium off white head. Aroma of light raspberry and malt. Taste is semi tart and lighty astringent. Flavor is more malt and mild hops than fruit. Has a dry finish.Very easy to drink however.
