Raspberry in your face! I can’t say I’m a fan. The aroma and flavor are completly overpowered by the fruit. Very, very sweet and acidic.

Even further away from beer than the SS Cherry. Easy to drink but the raspberry is over-embellished.

The_Bish (859) - West Midlands, ENGLAND - FEB 23, 2013

Smells lovely, just not like beer. My favourite smell is probably thyme, but I wouldn’t want beer to smell like thyme (I think). So should I score this highly because it smells nice just not of beer? I don’t actually care what you think, I’ve gone for 8. Tastes of.... raspberries. Go figure.
