Commercial Description:
The brown ale base, complex in itself , with the addition of raspberries both as a seasoning and a further fermentation, produces a beer with exceptional depth of flavor. Use of authentic fruit leads to a ripe seductiveness all the more alluring as the delicate notes are not overpowered. Available Thanksgiving through the holiday season.

You'd be hard-pressed to find something wrong with this magnificent brew. Similarly, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better beer with which to pass a winter's eve. Gets better as it warms!

I enjoyed it this past winter. I thought it was an alright beer, and I was impressed with the nice flavor of the raspberries. I might pick another pack up this winter if I see it.

On tap at brewery. Brown with white head. Smells of malt and rasberry and tastes the same. Preaty decent for a brown ale with rasberry added.

My top rated New Belgium. It is essentially a maltier and cheaper version of Lindemans. Shame it is only out in winter.

Pours like a cherry cola. Bottom of the glass is a clear light red and as it moves up it turns to a light brown. Strong raspberry aroma with some acidity and metalic notes. Not much else. The flavor is a sour sweet (not the other way around) but they don’t compliment eachother. Theres this artifical raspberry flavor that rolls around the back of my tongue that I just don’t like. The palate is thin and not very fun at all.

Bottle. Strong but not deep raspberry aroma. Dark red-amber with a steady thinnish head. Somewhat harsh with an unbalanced sweetness. Mildly dry and alcoholic in the finish.
