Flaske: Rød øl med et fint lille skumhoved. Duft af hindbær. Langt mindre syntetisk end krieken. Smagen er også domineret af hindbær. Tør og let sur. Fin øl og bedre end første forventning, men hindbær er ikke lige mig.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2009 Beautiful red pour with a pink persistant head. Great rasberry nose and pallate. i am a sucker for rasberries, and while this isnt a classic beer taste, the sour finish is crisp and clean.

Profound raspberry and sugar aroma. Plum and pink color with thin head and decent lacing. Malty intro with some carbonation evident in the mouth. Initial raspberry flavor is subtle and smooth on the tongue but soon becomes bittersweet in the aftertaste. Made a raspberry shortcake once with this beer and raspberries and it was pretty good!

Shared with my sister-in-law. Pours a dark purple color with a very purple, frothy head that dies down quickly. Aroma is almost all raspberry with some light sour and barnyard notes. Flavor starts off slightly sour, very strong of raspberry notes, sweet light farm ending with an ending tartness to round out the tasting. Overall a decent brew but I wish there was a bit more of a funk flavor to help tone down or accent the strong sweetness.

375ml bottle thanks to Gerrit during the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting. Dark red with medium pink head. Sweeter raspberry, a little sickenly sweet. Flavor is a sweet mess, like a jolly rancher. Medium to light body with weird carbonation. Meh.

Pours a cranberry juice shade of red (but thicker) with minimal pink head. Aroma is pureed raspberries. Not very subtle at all. Flavor is intense raspberry smoothie. Tart, tart, tart. With how intense it presented, I was nervously anticipating a syrupy finish, but thankfully that didn’t arrive. No hint of alcohol whatsoever. I feel like I had a smoothie, not a beer.

small bottle shared with faroeviking. clear red, small red head. aroma of fresh raspberries, slight sour. flavor is fruity, ripe raspberries, slight sourness. i’d like the raspberry flavor a little more fresh, and less raspberry-jam like, and then i’d like to take away a little bitterness, and add more sourness. still a decent sour, that i might buy again.

Botella. Clear deep dark red colour with a reddish head leaving some lacing. Lovely sweet fruity raspberry aroma. Sweet very pleasant raspberry fruity tart flavour. Long lasting fruity bit tart raspberry finish. Yum. Thanks for sharing Pinball!
