Mar 15, 2002 Dark reddish-brown; aroma like a raspberry tart - very sweet and fruity. Fresh, seedy berry flavours at the beginning, but then giving way to the more confectionary aspects before finishing up sweet & sour. Brown ale not as present as I prefer in the style, which leaves it overall too candyish.

Dec 16, 2003 Small beige-pink head atop a deep ruby-brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, definitely raspberry, some butter. Taste reflects the beer's origins -- there's both the sour/sweet raspberry, and nuttiness. Watery medium body, with medium acidity, that hides the alcohol remarkably well.

May 28, 2004 Bottle. Yipes, not too good. Sweet sticky rasberry cola and brown sugar. Tasted like rasbery cordial on top of a below average brwon ale. I seriously have my doubts about New belgium.

Jan 6, 2003 Pours a medium brown with a red hue and little head. Fresh ripe raspberry aroma with no noticable hops. The body is slightly sweet, but overpoweringly tart and unbalanced. Had no idea this was 7% abv though.
