Rated this 5 days ago at the brewery. 2 1/2 oz sample. The way the guy at the brewery was talking I thought this was going to be a sour ale. Has an old gold hue under a weak little head. Fruity nose. It’s lightly tart with an alcohol burn. Just okay.

raspberry belgian yeast esters makes sweet raspberry. Light pinot noteas a little wood. Pleasant understated. Amber pour light bubbly head. Nice raspberry woody wine sweet estery belgoan yeast. Raspberries in the finish. Light fruit and wood dry and linger on the palate. Subtle but really damn enjoyable. Light alcohol in finish at times a little bread grain notes as well as really enjoyable.

Tap @ Portland Fruit Beer Fest... Poured golden with a thin head. This was pleasant, but not overwhelming. Wine-like barrel notes, light fruits, and some sweetness. Herbal, earthy, mild palate. Quite drinkable.

On tap at the Fort George brewery. Served, I believe, in a pinot noir glass. Very interesting. This brew took on the color of the berries used...light raspberry hue with a dense white head. Aroma is tart with a subtle woodsy character. Flavor is of freshly picked berries, can definitely pick up the pinot, oak, and vanilla. Very delicate, unique, and worth a try!!!

On tap at the Bier Stein, Eugene. Glad I was able to try this, as I almost passed it up! Totally unexpected too! Pours a slightly hazed golden amber with the hint of the color raspberry. A mild amount of little bubbles help create a white rim around the top. Mild berry aroma intertwined with a faint oaky pinot hint! The flavor is absolutely delightful in a very delicate way...starts with a sour raspberry flush with hints of sweet malts. The fairly dry and somewhat carbonated body keeps these flavors running until a bite of sour oak and fermenting berry comes to take a swift kick in your palate! TART, TART, and lightly tart. Slight vanilla tannins, wood, light funk, and dry pinot are all present and all very powerful - but blended together well! The finish is dry and lingers of the sour notes in the beer. This was (and is right now) a really nice surprise! And by god...a fruit beer this good?? No way ;) ...

On tap at Bailey’s in Portland, OR--Poured a cloudy amber-bright orange body with a swirling whitish head. Massively floral and fruity nose with lots of complexity. Dry tannins across the back of the tongue and a new fruity life unfolded with each quaff. A truly magnificent beer. Awesome!

Taster - Fort George Brewery - Astoria, OR
Aroma – Barrel oak aroma with a fruity finish (What?)
Appearance – Amber in color, Thin light head and clear.
Flavor – A fruit beer that was aged in a Barrel. They did it and wow it was pretty good. Very malty and strong fruit sour flavor.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a dry fruit-oak finish.
Overall – They did it and I think they did a great job this was a sour beer with a good oak and fruit flavor. The beer had some very interesting flavors. One for the books to tell people about.

On tap at the PDX Green Dragon. Pours like ruby red grapefruit juice, hazy, with a tall white head. Raspberry nose, tart and fresh. Flavor was very well blended, pulling the tartness from the berries while not being overly sweet. The barrel aging gave it some funkiness in the finish that worked nicely. Very enjoyable and well built beer.
