4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours deep dark burgundy, murky with a thin pink head. The nose is insane fruit. Cherries, raspberries, grapes, graham crackers, funk, vinegar and light citrus. The taste is super sour, medium tart and medium sweet. Super complex. The texture is crisp and clean, the body is heavy and finish is long.

Pours cloudy red-brown with a tan head. Aroma is ripe, rich fruit (ripe raspberries and currants). Taste is sweet and tart, kind of like a melted snowcone. Dry finish and tart. Really fantastic.

Jammy, fresh raspberries start to finish. Raspberry purée syrup moreso than the fruit itself. Reminds me of a more sour version of the Dieu du Ceil Raspberry Berliner. Tasty!

Bottle... This beer rocks!… Murky, deeply-maroon ale with a mid-sized, creamy, mushroom-colored head that never fully scatters. The nose offers heaps of fruity raspberries and some nice caramel and chocolate elements. Full-bodied and uber-silky with faint carbonation. The flavor is all about sour raspberries and milk chocolate layered upon lesser notes of caramel and cherries. Finishes sour and stupid fruity. Big-time raspberry bomb! A world class delight that slides right on into my Top 20!

Draft at Monks Cafe for a Lost Abbey event. Poured a dark muddy red with a big frothy brown top. I have had both the Red Poppy and Framboise separately yet this seems to have a new element in between. Still thick and fruity. Still full and sour. This time feeling some darker malty red fruits otherwise usually missing from both. A deep foamy sea of dark cherry and raspberry.

Tap at Monks with some Dads for the Lost Abbey dinner. Drank a good 3 glasses of this gem of a sour, two with dinner and one after. Pours a murky cranberry color with small to medium off white head, not much lacing. Aromas of cherries, raspeberry, vanilla, butter. Taste is heavy raspberry amarosa jam with some oaky cherry red poppy. Super complex and rich. This track will def put some fucking jam in your step. Amazing.

On tap at Monk’s after Jeff Mangum with Pat, Sean, and Janine. Pours a murky deep red with off-pink head and lacing. Strong raspberry and strawberry jam. Very sweet and fruity nose. Some oak and red grape skins. A smooth and lightly tart finish.

On tap at Monk's after the Jeff Mangum show with Janine, Sean, and Tom. Pours deep blood red with a thin, creamy pink head. Nice spotty sticky lacing. Aroma of strawberry and raspberry jam, rose and hibiscus hips, and fragrant wax. Taste is very much like a sour crayon with some raspberry and strawberry tart sourness in the finish. Very rich, soft, sour mouthfeel with a cutting finish. Extremely well-balanced, floral, fruity and sour. Great beer.

Bottle. Murky reddish brown pour with an off white head. Big raspberry nose. It is exactly the blend of Red Poppy and Framboise de Amorosa. Delicious!!!!!
