Commercial Description:
As promised Founders Brewing Company has created something unlike the rest. Amongst this summers over crowded race to cloudy wheat beers we have decided to embark down a path all to our own. By using only fresh raspberries Rubaeus translates into intense flavors combined with a no hesitation malt bill. At 7% ABV this is definitely beer. In fermentation we add fresh raspberries at five separate stages throughout the fermentation life cycle to achieve the ultimate balance between tartness and sweetness. This beer is a tribute to Founders way of brewing…. Brewing Beer We Want To Drink

Tawny pink ruby, thin pink head, candy raspberry and metallic notes in the nose. Quite sour anctually, not as candy nasty flavored as I thought it would be. Tates almost like a kriek really. There’s a sourness beyond raspberry though, acidic almost. OK, but I wouldn’t drink this all the time.

A very light, super raspberry carbonated "beverage." Not a bad thing though, some people maynot like this altogether, but out of the many fruit beers I have tried - not that bad.

A very nice drinking fruit beer. Not over the top in raspberry taste yet a good smooth raspberry flavored malt. Lost some points as the color was more muddy than I would have liked.

Red in color with a lacy white head. Somewhat clear. Smell is almost exclusive raspberry. Taste is a nice fruit flavor of raspberries as well. Missing some complexity. Easy to drink.

12 oz. bottle. Ruby pour with a slightly pinkish, thin head. Aroma of fresh raspberries. Taste starts out sweet then gives way to a malty, tart finish. Very tasty beer.

Thanks to Acknud for this fine bottle. Pours a chill hazed, garnet orange with a small pinkish head. Aroma is raspberries, freshly pureed raspberries. Taste follows suit, with a solid malt addition that adds some chewy caramel. No hops to speak of. A very pleasant fruit beer.
