Bottle at the April Get Together. Pours a bold magenta with light pink head. Not something I would want to be seen drinking in public. The aroma is raspberry with slight ambient sweetness. The flavor is tart raspberry with some citric acidity. Dry, sparkling finish. I would never have guessed the alcohol content had I not read it; it is almost entirely undetectable. I kinda hate to admit it, but I really liked this.

Bottle. Pours a deep garnet color with no head. The aroma was raspberries and not much else. Tasted like grape juice with a kick. This was not like a beer at all but like a wine cooler. Slightly fizzy on the palate. Even though this beer was totally different than my usual preferences I would have it again.

This poured a reddish pink color with a large pinkish white head. Quitting laughing you pervs! The aroma contains raspberries and some hints of apple. The flavor contains some raspberries and sour apples. The 12.3% does not show at all in this beer. The mouthfeel was very carbonated. Decatursteveo called this a "date rape beer" Well anyways.....a great one in the league of the New Glarus fruit beers.

Nice surprise here. It Pours pink, and a huge aroma of raspberry - kind of a mix of fresh raspberry and raspberry candy. Flavor is crisp raspberry and not at all cloying. Raspberry definately dominates the flavor, but mixed with Sprite and Champaigne. Tasty stuff.

This is wonderful! Slightly sour, amazing smell of FRESH raspberry. Def worth a try, also hides the 12.3 very well.

At Three Cellars tasting Founder’s Brewery night. Murky Pink appearance and obvious raspberry aroma. Nice raspberry taste, alcohol not too noticeable. A bit tart & sour.

Pour is deep opaque crimson with a thin pink head...smell is strong raspberry with some alcohol and citrus...taste is sweet at first with some tartness, then alcohol...lots of chocolate and raspberries come out in the finish...reminded me of a crappier version of KRE...very interesting and easy to drink for sure...and the "crappy" comment by no means is intended as a jab at this beer...I couldn’t drink a lot of it, but pretty damn delicious...

Bottle from west lakeview pours reddish amber with a small, fine head. Very sweet. Not in a bad way, but still very sweet. No alcohol presence. I could drink 12 of these. Like raspberry lambic. Or maybe koolaid.
