Pours a particulated caramel colour with a small white head that dissapates nearly instantly. Nose is first very medicinal but as the beer warms it gets much more pleasing, tart fresh raspberry becomes more vibrant and mouthwatering. Initial taste is tart red berry mostly dinstincting as raspberry, and apple in background. Moves into a unbalanced vinous notes that seems to collide into eachother leaving a dry and blank palate. Medium body and slight head retention. Overall interesting.

Bottle in Pikkulintu, Helsinki- Dark red in colour with a lovely raspberry aroma. Raspberry is also strongly present in the taste which has a good sweet and sour balance. Very nice although it would be interesting to see how much of this is actually natural raspberry!

375ml Corked and caged. Pours a medium brown with orange hues, little to no head. Aromas of raspberries, green apples, and yeast. Flavors of tart raspberries, sour green apples, dusty, some sweet malt. Palate was semi carbonated.

Bottle. Pretty small but lingering head on a brown-red body. Aroma slightly tart and musty with a fruity sweetness. A clean lactic tartness blends well with the light sweetness of raspberries. A small mustiness complements. Not too shabby. It’s a little light on all of the flavors, though - I’d like a little more of everything.

(bottle) Pours a muddy brown with a small off white head. Aroma has a hint of raspberry, and slight brown sugar. Taste was not too sour, quite sweet actually with a little raspberry and brown sugar.

I wasn’t impressed with this. It looked good, brown, sizeable head. Nice aroma of sour oak and raspberry. The flavor is disappointing however. It isn’t sour, and the raspberry that is there tastes artificial. Some yeast in the flavor as well. I will rerate the next time I have this.

2002 / 16... Poured a cloudy brown, slighty reddish color with a small pink / orange head. Sour raspberries, slight vinegar aroma. Sour, lip puckering raspberry taste. Carbonated mouthfeel

Dark reddy-brown, small head. Huge raspberry aroma - real fruits, not flavourings. Pleasant carbonation. Initially a strong raspberry taste, but as the fruit subsides, it’s a delicious light malty body. Not too sweet. The finish is mostly the light malt. Some sweet stickiness also remains.
