4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20For a fruit ale, this is probably the one to model after. I couldn’t tell of any malt, hops, or yeast character. I mostly got a sparkling fruit juice flavor to it.

Purple color with a frothy pinkish head, a nice addition for a fruit ale. Aroma is raspberry malt. Flavor has a malty rasberry backbone a a good sprity bite and bitterness. Very good.

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.

Red pour with pink head. Beer head should not be pink. Aroma is sweet raspberry and malt. Taste is the same, but throws in some sour. Nice, but too sweet for me.

Even further away from beer than the SS Cherry. Easy to drink but the raspberry is over-embellished.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
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.
