2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a pinkish amber with a thin white head. Aroma is berries and buttered grits. Flavor is that of berry flavored water. Would be very enjoyable on a hot day.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(bottle 9/2/10). Pale rose color with good clarity. Small off white head. Light berry aroma and flavor. Very short duration. Light dry finish. Thin texture. Soft carbonation. Spare lacing.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
A: The pour is a pink color, almost like cherry 7-Up with a very short lived foam.
S: Definitely some butter along with cardboard and paper, smells almost like a paper mill. There is not much raspberry to it along with some mild sugar and grass, perhaps some straw and water.
T: The flavor is similarly poor. Lots of wet cardboard and paper with a mild raspberry flavor. A bit of sweetness as well as some grainy sugar and a touch of metal.
M: Watery and light with a medium carbonation.
O: It’s no Indian Wells Raspberry Ale, but it’s not something I’d like to drink, either.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Nice balance of sweet and tart berry flavors but not enough beer essence and what does comes through just seems a little off.
1.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
12 oz bottle into tulip. Ugh...this thing smells foul. Smells like vinegar and chemicals. Pours a clear deep gold with a small white quickly-collapsing head. Taste is sweet and tart with no bitterness. Tastes like raspberry seltzer water with a hint of beer. Corn and alcohol are noticeable in the finish. Carbonation is medium, body is thin. Not good, but what do you expect from a sorghum beer?
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
grapefruit soda appearance. cough drop flavor. fizzy tartness, can’t decide if it’s intentional. 10% juice-like fresca cough syrup.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Orangish pour. Small head. Aroma is all raspberries and caramel malt. Flavor is sweet, malty, and raspberries. Flavor follows suit. All raspberries.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Fruit and gluten free could be a bad combo but this works for me. Especially on a hot day. Raspberry is balanced by the base beer and it is not syrupy sweet. This is better than some regular fruit beers.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
From the Bottle at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 17/09/2010
Fruity aroma. Golden bronze coloured fruity raspberry flavour. A little thin on the palate. A hint of dryness in a malt finish.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
22 oz. bottle. Pours a short lived head, over a clear, copper colored (SRM 10) body....nose is light raspberry, grain.....taste is light beery sweet, then a light, slightly sour finish.....mouth feel is light and watery, carbonation makes for a soda like quality. This is a very light beverage, with minimal flavor and aroma, except for the raspberry. BJCP 5/3/10/4/5
