Commercial Description:
Our most anticipated specialty brew is back. Sour, tart, dry, wine-like Belgian-style Ale made with 400 pounds of whole raspberries and a lactic fermentation. Six months in the making, this bright red brew has a quenching finish. This batch has a noticeably fuller body and mouthfeel than previous years. $6.00, served in an 8-ounce wine glass only.

20061007 Tap at Kennett. Cranberry color with small white head. Aroma is berries, juicy, vanilla notes. Thin bodied and bitter with daunting astringency. Finishes a bit smacking tart and unremarkable. Not much fruit beyond the aroma.

Thin wisp of head with light carbonation. Awesome bright red in color. Fruity raspberry and cranberry aroma with a bit of spices (ginger). Light thin body. Dry and tart flavor with more raspberry and cranberry. Puckering palate. Dry and tart finish. Not my style.

Pours a bright glowing red with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Sweet and tart fruity raspberries dominate the nose. Starts a little thin with big fruity character throughout with a good balance of sweet and tart flavors. Finishes crisp with some drier tartness. Quite drinkable and refreshing.
