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

Bottle sampled. Pours deep red with a with a thin pink head. Aroma of raspberries and candy sugar. The flavor is sweet upfront, Rasberries, sugar, and finishes with a tart bite. Good brew.

Depending on your mood or location ( outside of WI) this is a pretty good example of a raspberry beer. A pink color with a pink tinged head. Raspberry aroma and taste. Below that some sweet malts and yeast esters. A nicely balanced beer.

bottle. color is a deep pink orange brown amalgam. thin pinkish head quickly dissipates nose is very sweet with a berry soda smell. interesting the way this one hits the tongue. sort of hits the front of the palate and sticks. thick and sappy with lots of raspberry sweetness backed up with lots of malt and a mid palate buttery mouthfeel. the fruit isn’t the showcase here.the beer is rich and strong and although it’s sticky and sweet the fruit is upfront but the rich malt flavor and alcohol are in control of this one.

Bottle. Happy to find this. Huge raspberry aroma, natural and non-cloying (pretty sweet, though). Light-medium carbonation surging up through the purplish-pink (great blend!) body to emerge at the short off-white head. Prickly interesting mf, creamy after the crispness, with fullish waves of robust raspberry (and slight strawberry) cascading over the tongue. Not too sweet at all, very balanced, and very fruity, not adulterated by the usual grainy malt . Dry raspberry aftertaste. This is utterly gorgeous, certainly one of the best, most mature fruit beers I’ve had (though I’ve not yet had New Glarus).

12 Oz Bottle. Pungent cake batter and scone aroma, burgeoning with fresh and frozen raspberries, possibly of Oregonian origin. Higher in the olfactories, late season, fermented on the vine raspberries from midwestern fields move in and bring some mature vinous character. Clean. Liquor a fine, clear (too clear?) berry red juice, with a rose rim. Flavor stays nestled in a mildly sweet raspberry plain C. Seeds ride in for some light tannic and vegetal quality to disperse what is just a little too much residual sugar. Sugared cream backs up the finish with a little malt character. I think this has been filtered to some extent, but not ruinously so. Again, points for clean, drinkable delicious raspberry flavor, but no gold star in the creativity department. Would have been much better spontaneously fermented.

This beer is absolutely yummy. It is a non-carbonated reddish pink beer. Nice crisp raspberry fruity beer with a medium palate. This beer really has a great flavor without being overly sweet or overly sour. I love this beer!

Fizzy rose wine looks. Pronounced raspberry nose. Flavor has a sweet raspberry entrance but it has some off flavors on the finish.
