UPDATED: MAY 25, 2010 Fruity raspberry aroma. Faint malt sweetness, but the raspberry aroma is what is dominant. Nice pink head and deep ruby color. Very fruit forward flavor. The raspberry is nicely done. While it is on the sweet side, it is neither overly sweet, nor too tart. Lingering raspberry flavor. Very nice mouth feel, kind of creamy. All in all this is a very nice fruit beer. Not a sour lambic, and not a watery raspberry beer sitting on top of an American Wheat style. Very satisfying.

Bottle. Clear dark red pour, a little carbonation and a nice fresh picked raspberry aroma. Flavor is also mellow and tart raspberry, effervescent and finished very dry and refreshing. I’m not much of a fruit beer guy, but this was really refreshing and well worth the price of admission.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2010 Bloody red pour. Raspberry and strawberry mixed nose. Oak aged raspberry mouthfeel. Rated 9/13/08

A: The pour is a dark blood red color with a fluffy off-white head and some decent lacing. S: The nose offers up some light tartness along with raspberries and a mild vinous character. T: The flavor has some mildly sweet and tart raspberries along with a pronounced dryness but not too much in terms of sourness. M: The body is medium with a full carbonation and a dry finish. D: We picked this one up thinking it was a lambic. The nose gave some inclination it might be, but upon tasting it, you could tell it was not. Still, a decent enough fruit beer.

Strong jammy raspberry nose, fresh and juicy. Mahogany in the glass, pinkish hue to the brown. Mouthfeel is silky with dried raspberry and wood.

Botella. Unclear red mahogny colour. Nice sweet fruity raspberry aroma. Rather thin mouthfeel. Sweet raspberry maltish hay flavour, bit thin.
