3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is well done. Fruity aroma with some malts and yeast. Reddish copper color; ruby, I guess if you want to go by the bottle. Light palate but not watery. Good carbonation to match the noticeable head. Very nice dry finish that reminded me of champagne. The raspberry flavor was definitely up front to match the aroma. To call this a brown ale as described would be a stretch as I detected few characteristics. The fruit took it over but it wasn’t overpowering. Very little hops presence and very easy to drink.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce bottle. Pours reddish brown with a small white head. Mild aroma of raspberries, malt, and caramel. Taste is similar. Nice balance between sweet and sour. Nice Fruit Beer!

Pours a dark red colors, aromas of raspberries, sweet malty characteristics put front with a nice raspberry finish
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 12/20
This is certainly one of the better fruit beers. Aroma is fruity and filled with some raspberry notes. Taste is fruity but not overly sweet or syrupy. There is also a nice malt base present that really balances the brew. The finishes is smooth with medium to light body and not overly carbonated. nice.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Fruity but not super sweet. Lots of dry raspberry in the nose. Tart raspberry up front that opens into a nice malty flavor. The combo of the berry and the toasted malt is great. Finishes dry and crisp and doesn’t fatigue the palate. Seek this one out if you like raspberry but can’t stand most of the hyper-sweet offerings that are out there. It’s a welcome change.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle pours a clear browninsh-red with 2 finger white head but very little lacing. Aroma is mostly raspberries, but with enought malts for balance. Body is light to medium with very lively carbonation. Taste is tart. I’m not a fan of most fruit beers but this one does the job with nothing offensive to me. I’d like it more with less carbonation and a more complex aroma.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bright reddish-brown. Strong raspberry aroma up front, not too sweet, not sour. The flavor follows the same path, with a pleasing acidity. Fairly light bodied and no hint of a brown ale here. Very well made, but too one-dimensional for me.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a nice clear reddish brown with quickly fading head and good lacing. Aroma is mainly raspberry - there isn’t a whole lot more going on - with just a hint of malt halfway through the glass. Taste is dominated by raspberry, just tart enough not to be too cloying. Goes down easy, but there’s not enough beer element here to make it worthwhile. It might as well be a light carbonated raspberry juice. To be fair, it was 2 weeks past "Best By" date, and 7% ABV is respectable - so I’ll go easy on it.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours deep red with a slight white head with moderate lacing. Big juicy raspberry aroma. But it doesn’t translate over to taste. Very thin, almost non-existent taste. Drinks real easy because it might as well be lightly sweetened water.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aromas of raspberries, caramel, and raisins. Dark ruby with a white head that retains decently. A little sweet with raspberry and raisiny flavors in the forefront, balanced by drier, tart flavors. Medium body, average carbonation, finish is pretty clean.
