Hudspart (371), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA Dec 15, 2007 Bottle: Very good beer. Great for dessert. Pours red with a very full fizzy head. Aroma and taste of raspberry. Great for certain occasions. JohnC (2233), Mission Viejo, California, USA Dec 15, 2007 This is a very tasty beer.
It pours raspberry red with a medium pink head and hits you with a great raspberry aroma. Great raspberry flavor w/ both sweet & tart. Finishes tangy. Loved it Dickinsonbeer (3434), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Dec 9, 2007 Pours a deep violet pinkish red with a lasting thin head. Aroma is absolutely jam pakced with red raspberries, raspberry jam- very sweet, with a hint of tartness though, perfumy- also some very sweet sticky sweet malts. Great raspberry sweet and tart flavors, jammy, other fruity esters, some phenolic yeast but is mostly covered byt the fruit and sticky sweetness. Good fruit acidity in the end. I thought this was going to be way over the top and harsh, but it was surprisngly drinkable and nice. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Dec 5, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark scarlet color with a thin pink head. Light sweet raspberry aroma over some musky-type malt scents. Taste is mostly sweet with some raspberry tartness coming through mostly in the finish. There’s an extra component in there - maybe some Belgian yeast character trying to come through, but gets buried under the sweetness. Alcohol is well-hidden. Interesting, but not compelling. aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Dec 3, 2007 Tasted at the WBF. Pour: pinkish purple with nice carbonation. Head: light pink and fizzes out. Aroma: raspberry and tart. Flavor: very tart and raspberry. Palate thin to medium. Finish: clean. MI2CA (1260), Noblesville, Indiana, USA Nov 29, 2007 22oz - Aroma of raspberry danish with some fresh raspberries on the side and alcohol. Pours transparent garnet with cascading bubbles, a fluffy pink head and great lacing. Flavor is sour raspberries followed by yeast, malts and a slight alcohol burn. Palate is tart and sticky. Even though the alcohol is present in both aroma and flavor, it is not as overpowering as 12.3% would lead on. A tasty brew, almost wine like. ford9719 (369), Vilseck, Germany Nov 24, 2007 22oz. POured a very deep ruby red color. Aroma is of raspberry. Taste is that of yeast raspberry and almost like a wine but very good. nolankowal (850), Columbus, Ohio, USA Nov 21, 2007 Bottle. Deep red pour with a pink head. Aroma of rspberry, yeast, light booze and mild banana. Flavors of yeast, raspberry, light pale malt, subtle spices and banana. Medium body, little carbonation sweet/tart with a dry/tart finish.
