Pours a hazy peachy color with almost no head. Amazing aroma of raspberries, some sourness and a strong dose of belgian funk. Superb flavor of raspberries, oak, sourness and belgian funk. The body is light with an oily texture and soft carbonation. This beer is the answer to the question : What if Jolly Pumpkin would do a raspberry beer? Yes, it’s THAT GOOD!

750 ml bottle shared by Fred from Ho:St at BBD 2009. Pours a hazy peachy grapefruit juice color with a nice lasting off white head. Aroma is sharp red raspberry with plasticy phenolics, some acidity, wheat malts, dough, cracker, and some light earthy funk, wood, light oak and some toast/vanilla. Flavor is nice mineraly fruits, seeds, light metallic, wheat, some lemon hints, with a wine and fruit like acidity, a slight plastic note with vegetal hints, and even a slight hint of fennel, mint, licorice, and other herbs with the raspberry and oak. Strange beer, but I kinda liked it overall.

2 year old bottle (only 1 of 2 bottle sold on this occasion) at Hopfenstark 3rd anniversary party. Poured an hazy peach brew with a very tiny head. Aroma is sour raspberries, wheat, honey, oak and herbs. Flavor is sour raspberries, wheat, malt, citrus, and berliner weisse like flavor. Very good all around fruit beer.

750ml bottle at Host 3rd anniv, 1 years old, shared by MJGG (ty !).Pours hazy yellow with a small head. Aroma is fruity, tart and funky raspberries. Taste is a bit light but still tart and quite fruity. A bit grainy. Very drinkable. Nice funk and tart on nose and taste. Truly a great beer. I also had this year’s version of the beer and it was quite different. Lots of vinegar, some butter and less fruits. I would give that one a 3.4/5.

750 ml bottle. 1 year oak aged tasted @ Host 3rd anniversary. Hazy gold pour, with a reddish pink look almost no head. Well felt raspberry and oak sourness aromas with a hint of candy. Taste is all raspberries and lambic-like sourness. Pretty aggressive carbonation in this one leaves a very dry and enjoyable mouthfeel.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bouteille de 750 ml, vieille 1 an, dégustée au 3e anniversaire de Hopfenstark. Arômes fruités discrets, notes acides bien présentes. Robe dorée, légèrement rosée, légère mousse et effervescence moyenne. Plutôt bien équilibrée en bouche, les framboises et le chêne sont présents mais demeurent relativement discrets. Les céréales sont également apparentes. Finale lactique moyennement sûre. Intéressant. Note: la nouvelle version 2009 (vieillie 6 mois) présentait des fortes notes de diacétyl et d’acide acétique et était beaucoup moins intéressante.
