Pours a hazy ruby red raspberry color with a nice pinkish head. Aroma is of amazing tart raspberries. Flavor is a very nice tart raspberry flavor but with a nice sweet finish but not syrupy or extract tasting at all. Alcohol content is also hidden extremely well in this one. Excellent.

Tap at Founders. Raspberry Aroma. Bright red color with a small light red head. I like the sweet raspberry taste. Your mouth would just beg for more. I can’t believe this beer isn’t rated any higher.

22oz bottle. Color of razzberry juice. Ruby red and juicy. Aroma of fresh pressed razzberries. Flavor is nothing but tart juicy fruit. Lots of alcohol which is all very hidden. Beer drinkers and non drinkers would definately mistake this for juice. could be the best fruit beer I’ve tasted. Its just too easy to enjoy!

I can’t believe this doesn’t come in higher on the ranks. Bottle from Charles Street Liquors. Maybe the best fruit beer I’ve ever had, and by that I mean ’maybe better than Kuhnhenn’s framboise.’ But where the Kuhn’s miracle is making a barrell-aged beer taste like a raspberry tree, Founders’ claim to fame is they make a 12.3% raspberry beer not taste like raspberry vodka (read: DOGFISH FORT) but candy! That one wouldn’t hesitate to give their own children! This beer is a milestone.

Draft at Capone’s. Ruby magentaish pour with smallish light pink head that faded away quickly. The aroma was great, a very intense freshly picked raspberry aroma that was natural and not at all Jolly Rancherish. The palate was pretty hefty, somewhat sticky, with tons of raspberry flavor, plus a dollop of earthy yeasty hints. This one stayed pretty tart throughout, seeming to get a little sweeter toward the finish, definitelt sweeter than Sly Fox Black Raspberry. I’d really love to side-by-side this with NG Tart and the Sly Fox Black Raspberry. This one was outstanding.
