dekeyz2chaos (1), USA does not count Nov 16, 2007 Raspberry smell and tart raspberry taste (of course). Dark red, slightly cloudy body. Not much of an alcoholic flavor - its fizziness and thickness remind me of a raspberry soda. Lingering finish. chicagodri (1020), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 15, 2007 A great beer that people who don’t even like beer will love. Huge raspberry taste and a little tart. My girlfriend loves this beer, which is great because she will drink it while I take down whatever else is on tap. Every once in a while I like having one of these myself. buzz9 (15), Nashua, New Hampshire, USA Nov 15, 2007 I Really liked it - didnt expect much - smell instantly made my mouth water - great raspberry taste - but tart - i kept wanting more - little pricey esp for something with not much alc % . Will certainly buy again. tytoanderso (1382), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA Nov 14, 2007 Tasted out of my wife’s brandy snifter at Fitgers in Duluth, MN. Aroma of crushed raspberries with a hint of sourness. Pours bright ruby red. Flavor has mostly sweet raspberries with an nice tart sourness on the finish. Medium bodied with a lingering tart finish. All in all a great dessert by itself. sirpsycho (342), Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 13, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark red, pink head almost non-exsistent. Aroma is raspberries (duh!) Raspberries and more raspberries in the flavor, sweet and tart, but it doesn’t clobber you. Had it with desert, a piece of double chocolate cake, a perfect pairing.
Also, have paired this up with a Southampton Double White, 80% Double White and 20% Lindemans, nice alt. version of a Bloody Ho. beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Nov 11, 2007 750 Ml Bottle-Pours ruby red w/some slight carbonation, Strong raspberry aroma & flavor, carbonation definatly comes thru strongly; really not much more to it than that. Like a Raspberry wine w/a tart, carbonated finish. For this style, it was quite good, but I don’t think I could drink too much of it, just not really my cup of tea! Dacrza (245), Great Meadows, New Jersey, USA Nov 7, 2007 Returning to one of the first beers to make me realize my destiny of beer-tasting the world, way back at Clancy’s (Bloomsburg, PA) in my college days...thick crimson red body with a full inch off-white creamy head in its official Lindemans flute....will it be redundant--or obvious--to note the raspberry? a light yeast strain as well...refreshingly delicious...creamy, fizzy, lively palate balances with a soft presence perfectly...a tart raspberry to start... acidic, slightly burning end...as enjoyable and candylike a beer I’ve experienced...the fiz and burn could be a slight turn-off, but tart and appropriate to its promise...perfect as a stand-alone... cbait21 (18), Delaware, USA Nov 3, 2007 Nice raspberry aroma. Sour finish that almost hits you in the back of the jaw like a Sour Patch Kid (sorry) Balanced flavor that would match real well with a dense chocolate dessert
