3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft from mellow mushroom Asheville. Pours and looks like something that came out of a food processor. Big berry and cherry notes on the nose. Very pleasant. Nice balance of fruitiness and tartness on the tongue. Finishes nice.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draught straight from the brewer. Pours a cranberry-copper into the glass with an initially wispy head that reduces to mild soap lacing. The nose is of raspberries. Sweet and tart mingle, mixing lots more cherry than raspberry upfront, with some yeast mid-palate and spent grains in the finish. Light but substantial, the ABV is integrated superbly, offering an active mouthfeel but satiating the palate. Other than the semi-funky finish, this is a great fall offering from a fantastic brewer.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
on draft at the thirsty monk. a ruby red color, no head no carbonation over a pound of cherries and raspberries per gallon. pleasantly balanced with just the right amount of tartness and surprised that it wasnt to sweet. nice sipping beer.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at brewer. Light red color with a thin head. Scent of cherries. Taste is sweet and tart with a bitter finish. Not my style but enjoyable.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured an almost clear amber color with a creamy off-white head. Light malty aroma mixed with hints of fruit. The flavor was also light on the malt but it was moderately fruity compared to the aroma. Taste of raspberry. Light bodied.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Draught) Pours a hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of cherries, raspberries, Belgian yeast, and caramel. Flavor of raspberries, cherries (bit wine cooler like), dough, and yeast.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled at the brewery. Hazy light red color. Lightly sweet fruity aroma. The flavor was really the surprise of the weekend. This thing was a perfect balance between a fruit beer and Belgian ale. Both influences were present and both complimented the other quite well. The balanced they achieved her with out being overly fruity or medicinal is outstanding. I had a couple of glasses of this nectar. I wish I could get this all the time.

Brewgrass 2009
Amber with a smallish head.
Fruity nose, some cherry/berry.
The flavor reminds me of a washed out Lindemann’s Framboise.
A bit thin, needs a touch more of everything to bring this one all the way.
