Mar 16, 2008 Smells weird. Like a pixie stick and mold. Tastes pretty much like a weak brown, but with some acid bite. Not overwhelmingly raspberry, but there is some tartness. Not bad either, just unexpected.

Mar 12, 2007 Dark Brown with Orange Hues..Creamy Skin. Lightly Rich Malty Beer with Light Raspberry Notes...Not too Sweet or Drying...a Lightly Dried Toasty Aftertasted...Thinned Bodies...Overall, Although Hard to Chalk This up as a Brown, Not a Bad Light Fruit Beer.

Jun 1, 2006 yikes! starts out ok - at least it looks good, nice brownish red color, bright...but the head drops fast and doesn’t lace. nose is almost 100% raspberry extract. maybe a little brown ale nuttiness. flavor is agained dominated by raspberries - again, seemingly of the extract variety (a bit of plastic in there). not a very good beer, although the base brown ale seems fair enough. the raspberries are too much.

May 13, 2006 Well, it looks like a good brown ale and smells like a good raspberry brown ale. Stop reading right there if you don’t care about taste. The taste of this nice looking raspberry brown was that of nutty, roasted malts (good) and burnt raspberries (bad). The charred flavor that came through in this sampling was overwhelmingly horrible. I like the other Harbor City brews, so I’m willing to try this again in case I had a very bad batch.

Mar 9, 2006 Deep red color with no head. Aroma was definitely raspberry, but more of the heavy processed or cough syrup variety instead of fresh. The taste is thankfully as advertised. I can taste the nuttiness of a brown and the rasberry is light enough to play a supporting role. Not bad.
