Founders Blushing Monk

Served from a bottle at toncatchers T3 tasting! Thanks to stefanje, lagunitasfan, weeheavysd, fordest, wetherel, alohac and of course toncatcher for suppling the house and grub. A very tasty fruit beer. Hard to believe this one was 12 %. Lots of rasberries, tart and sweet. Very good.

650ml bottle shared at toncatchers T3. Courtesy of tytoanderso. Pink/reddish pour with a small pink head. The aroma is rich with raspberries, raspberries and more more raspberries. The flavor--see comments on aroma. Only need to add that these were very tart raspberries. The finish was long and cloying. The palate was smooth and malty with a light acidity. Overall: A very tasty and enjoyable concoction.

Large bottle. Pours red with a thick pink head. Aroma and taste of raspberry with slight malt. Very good.

Bomber shared with Jason,Derek, and a couple of newbies thank you Jason. Is it 9 or is it 13%? Bottle aged for a year says 13.2% and it could very well be. Amaxing fruitbeer. Dark pink with big soapy pink head and pink lace. Aroma of raspberry and some malt. Big mouthfeel, raspberry, tart raspberry. The taste is a beer with very raspberry, she delivers. Good drinkability. Carobonated too. Natural sugars.

The steriod version of the rubaeus. Poured red with a pinkish head. Aroma of raspberries. Lots of tart raspberry flavor.

Imagine a sour version of New Glarus Raspberry Tart. Pours a murky red with a pencil thin head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is lots od red berries and sweet/tarts. Flavor is very much the same: raspberries, red cherries, maybe even a touch of grapes, all with some funk and a giant rush of sourness. Dry, but still slightly sticky-sweet. Very nice brew, but a little to sticky.

Nice red pour wtih a small head. Aroma is tart raspberries. Flavor is full of fresh sweet/tart raspberries. Damn this is good. Very tart but has some nice residual sweetness. You can tell this is a beer, but there are no obvious beer flavors. Very nice.

Pours a deep red with the slightest of heads even with a very vigorous pour. Aroma is vinuous and full of raspberry along with some grape and strawberry. The slightest bit of funk is in there too, but in a pleasant manner. Flavor is very similar to the Rubaeus, but has a bolder flavor and a greater level of tartness...this one makes you pucker at the end. Lots of raspberry and again, very vinuous in nature. I caveat that I’m a fan of fruit beers, and this one drank more like a sweet wine than a beer...not wonderful, but a very solid beer!
