Pour is pinkish reddish amber with a sticky light pink head...smell is strongly raspberry...this wasn’t exactly subtle at all...sweet sticky raspberry flavor...almost like raspberry juice was added...clyingly sweet...

Draft sample at Brewpub. Pours clear red/amber color with an average creamy white head that was mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate tart raspberry aroma. Light to medium body. Medium tart fruit flavor with a medium tart finish of an average duration. My expectations where met.

Had on tap at FS. Poured a light orange, with decent carbonation and a thin off-white head that disspated quickly and left little lacing. Strong dominant nose of super-tart raspberry and a mouthfeel and taste that followed suit. The finish tended to be overly sweet, as the tartness wore off. A nice beer to try, but it wouldn’t be a regular for me.

On tap at the pub. Little pink/red hint to the body of the beer. You could definitely smell the raspberries. My girlfriend enjoyed it. I thought it was too sweet. Refreshing though and pretty decent for a fruit beer.

On tap at the pub. Orangish pink, transparent body. Raspberry pie filling and honey-graham crust aroma; buttery, with cherry and vanilla sweetness to balance the seedy acerbic qualities of the raspberry predominance. Taste is satisyingly sweet and quite authentic in its fruitiness; not cloying or tightly wound, but generous and pleasant. Hints of cream candies, sweetbread and light lactose forms of sugar. Light bodied and very sparkly in the mouth; not heavily drying at the end but rather rich in doughy sweetness. Fulfilling and amiable.

I gotta say that this one was a slightly bitter raspberry flavored brew, and was refreshing but strange. It was too bitter and tart to be a refreshing brew, but then again, it was unique and it begged me to drink it

Not my thing but better than some other fruit beers I’ve tried. This is by far the best microbrew-pub reastauant brews I’ve had and food and service was excellent. Highly recommended.

On tap at the brew-pub. Light orange/red pour. Fruity and slightly wheaty aroma. Light and tart raspberry flavor. Nothing overpowering, just a well done, smooth drinking fruit beer.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy reddish brown in colour with a medium sized head. Kinda artificial and sticky. Has a nice tartness though. But still too sweet.
