shp555 (1217), lilburn, Georgia, USA May 10, 2008 Pours a hazy raspberry red color with no head. Aroma is raspberry, oak, and a hint of brett. Flavor is sugary sweet, raspberries, oak, and a sweet sugary finish. Haslinger (342), Tyler, Texas, USA May 6, 2008 Bottle, the aroma of this beer is just incredible, smells like fresh raspberries. Amazing. Very fruity,syrupy taste and mouthfeel. I liked this beer more than New Glarus’ Belgian Red. I would buy this again soon. It’s an excellent beer to share with a few friends because it is definitely much too sweet to drink alone. Also you will make lots of friends sharing beer like this. BeerZack (108), Austin, Texas, USA May 4, 2008 Thick cloudy unfiltered cranberry juice color with pink foam that quickly settles to some small bubbles.
Intense raspberry, cranberry, cherry aroma thats sweet and tangy smelling.
This beer looks and smells like a raspberry vinaigrette, but it tastes more like cranberry juice and cherry wine. Very intense and concentrated fruit. This is pretty tart, but for how sweet it is I’m surprised it’s rated so highly.
Mildly carbonated, tart acidity feels very juicy. Pretty drinkable if you don’t mind the sweetness. towerjac (2), Lansing, Michigan, USA does not count May 3, 2008 Rich dark red body with a light red/pink head. Strong fresh raspberry aroma. An extremely sweet initial taste followed by very tart aftertaste with a rather abrupt transition between the two. toddkrem (54), Lansing, Michigan, USA May 3, 2008 Smells very good. Pours dark red. Perfect combination of sweetness and sourness. Kind of tart and great taste of raspberries.
