Courtesy hopscotch. Thanks for sharing Eric! Pours a slightly hazy dark red, with a small white head. Smells of big fruits. Strawberries, cherries, gummyberries, and other magical fruits. Had a candy-esque aroma to it. Very sweet smelling. Theflavor was super sweet and fruity. Slightly acidic, but not overpowering. Really rich and thick on the palate. This isnt an awesome beer, but certainly a fun one to drink every so often.

Quite a tasty beer. Barely beer, even less then their rubeus. Which this beer resembeld tremendously. Nose of chocolate mixedwith fresh raspberry. Sweet on the nose as it is in the mouthfeel. Very nice and refreshing beer.

WBF. Man oh man. I was excited to see this one. Pours a beautifully rich hazy pink. The head is medium, fizzy, and pink. Smells strongly of raspberries, sweet, mild spice to it. Flavor is sweet, but definitely not overdone. Mostly raspberry on the tongue, tart/sour, acidic bite, mild spice, little to no alcohol. Crisp on the palate. Nice

On tap at WBF in Durham. Nose and flavor are full of raspberries, with some acidic, slightly tart notes. Sweet, without being cloying. Flavor is more raspberry, cherry, and a nice acidic, dry finish. Alcohol extremely well hidden.

75 cL bottle, thanks to Myrup. Pours hazy red with a lacing head. Clean raspberry, slight citric, acidic and sweet. Flavour is quite citric and berry fruity. End is soft into dry. Wow.

Bottle. Hazy red coloured with a light pink head. Sweet aroma dominated by raspberries. The flavour is dominated by raspberries with notes of hops and light acidic notes. Hoppy finish. The raspberries are very dominating. but still quite good.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of sliffy. Pours a slightly hazy, warm, reddish with a small, pinkish head. Very distinct and intense raspberry aromas. Quite full-bodied with distinctly sweet raspberry accents - unfortunately a little chemical and soapy in the finish with also some acidity. No hop presence though. Too much of a good thing really. 280907

Bottle. [Courtesy of Myrup / Papsoe, quality tasting @ Papsoe] Small frothy white head that mostly diminished. Good display of lacework. Hazy reddish color. Wow this is like fruity acid drops with heavy notes of sourish mix of fruit. Grapefruit, citrus, pineapple. But also notes of cherry / fresh berries / raspberries with some underlying malty notes as well. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated acidic and sweet flavor that was well balanced. No evidence of alcohol I thought, with again the fruity acidic drops as the finishing touch. Very lovely fruit beer! 28-09-2007
