Pours clear reddish brown with white ring of foam. Mostly raspberries in the nose. Medium body and light carbonation. Sweet raspberry taste.

22oz. bottle. Pours a ruby brown with a wispy white head. Aromas of dried cherries, raspberries, and baked raspberries. Flavor is much more of the same with a hint of sweet malt. The sweetness goes a long way towards concealing the alcohol, but there is still a slight burn at the finish. Interesting, but not worth its high price tag - I would rather have 2 bottles of New Glarus Belgian Red for the same money any day...

Thick raspberry syrup aroma. Deep russet color and light pink head. Sweet tart raspberry flavor. This stuff is a raspberry flavored punch in the face but the high ABV really isn’t offputting or even that detectable.

Bottle bought in Boston. Pours a berry-colored brown with a small pinkish head. Aroma and flavour were dominated by raspberries. Great mix between the sweet and sour notes on the raspberries. Really the only time I even notice the 12.3 ABV was right up front when it was still a little cold. Maybe a little simple but good and easy drinking.

22oz. bottle Aggressive pour small light pnik head body is dark reddish brown. Aroma is deep raspberry, thick, taste is immediately tart, sweet as it passes the taste buds, nicely carbonated, tart raspberry is prominent in the finish. Good, clean lovely raspberry.

Bomber bought on clearance at Binny’s. Poured a dark pink with a thin, light magenta head. Aroma was overwhelming raspberry, as was the flavor. More tart than sweet. Hefty alcohol content is nearly invisible to the palate. Big hit with the wine drinkers at the tasting.

T3 tasting. Rose color wit hfizzy white champagne head. Cranberry and soda nose. Super sweet and tart. It has a flat finish on the tongue, and I’m not referring to carbonation. Great aftertaste. I liked this one.

22oz bottle extra from trade with fiver29. Pours a rosy reddish color with a 1 finger thick light pink head. Big nose of Raspberry’s, as well as big Raspberry flavor. The 12.3 was hidden very, very well. A great fruit beer!
