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

Fermented aroma with raspbeery notes present. Raspbeery color body with nice light pink head and good carbination. Had a decent raspberry flavor that was lacking I thought at first from aroma. Also some mild tart not like you sucking on sweettart like some of these. Dry finish so you may need a palate cleanser afterthis one, but that’s not all bad you’ll drink another beer.

10.09.05 12oz bottle at HW open house. Deep hazy pink. Fresh berries and a biscuity malt. Tart and astringent especially towards the finish. Way too sweet up front and returning after swallow.

Bottle. A dark reddish color with a pink light foamy head. A strong raspberry aroma, light and inviting. Tart and biting raspberry flavors that finish well and without being too sweet. Thanks to OhioDad for the trade.

Pours dark red with enormous pinkish white head, that lasts forever. Good lacing. Body is opaque with bits of raspberries floating. Aroma is like smelling a fresh pint of raspberries. Flavor is a nice balance of tart raspberries with sweet malt. Some hoppyness makes an appearance in the finish. Lively carbonation is nice fit with the fruity flavor.

Pours red with a reddish white huge head that sticks around for a long time. Smells of rasberries, sugar, yogurt, and caramel. Tastes of rasberries. Buttery and tarte with a smooth over the top finish.

Took some getting used to but I came around to like this. Can not miss the strong rasberry flavor with a lot of carbonation. Does not seem like 6.9% alcohol.

pours a red/copper color with a medium pink tinged head. aroma is full of raspberries with vinous gueze type notes to it. Light and very bubbly raspberry flavor with the raspberries adding the slight hint of tartness to the end. reminds me of a lambic. i enjoyed this beer a lot.

GREAT sniffer! Smells like over-ripe raspberries. Pours a beautiful red body with a red tinted head. Lucious raspberry taste with some malt & hops in the back. High alcohol content is not detected through the thick fruit flavor, making it easy drinking. YUM!
