Feb 25, 2008 Bottle. Dark red pour, opaque. Aroma of raspberries. The flavor is also raspberries (slightly tart and seedy), very fresh and tasty. Extremely light for 12%, and the fruit and carbonation level reminded me of drinking a martinelli’s sparkling cider (but obviously raspberry flavored).

Feb 11, 2008 Had at a tasting at Three Cellars. A very good Fruit Beer. If you like Rasberries that is. Slightly on the sweet side not much taste of the beer side.

Feb 3, 2008 Pours a reddish/pinkish hue with a very small pink head. Nose is definitely raspberries. Nice and full edge. Flavor is definitely fruity and full of raspberries. But this tastes like Kool-Aid with alcohol in it to me. A bit too one sided with not a lot of complexity to it. The feel has a great level of carbonation that just soothes the mouth. Overall though, this leaves a lot to be desired. No complexity and too much kool-aid-ness. I’d pass on this next time I think.

Feb 2, 2008 Pours a clear purpley read with very little head. The aroma is big raspberry, a bit like Chambord. The flavor is decidedly tart, but like fruit juice. This is surprisingly good. There’s no hint of the strength of the beer at all in the flavor or aroma.

Feb 2, 2008 22 ounce bottle. Pours red-purple with a very fizzy pink head. Huge nose of ripe raspberries. The flavor is raspberry syrup with a chalky finish. High carbonation. Medium body. I suppose this is a well executed beer, just not something I would be interested in drinking again.

Jan 31, 2008 Red with good, creamy pink head / Nose of raspberries and malt / Medium body with moderate sweetness and good, tart finish / Good, complex flavors of raspberry liqueur and sour malt, and tart apple finish / I’d call it a good raspberry cider.

Jan 25, 2008 This beer rocks. at 12% you would think it would taste overly strong, but the fruit is over the top and I love it. Almost like a port, you definitely want the proper glass for this so that you can savor the aroma and even the appearance.
Even non-micro drinkers can be converted by this one, especially girls, IMO.
