On tap at Ashley’s - Ann Arbor, MI. Lightly sweet fresh strawberry nose. Pours a lightly-clouded red-tinted amber. Flavor is clean and crisp in mostly strawberries, a little cooked, with a bit of raspberry jam and blackberry seeds. Nice dry fruit presentation. A swift run of grassy hops takes over where the fruit seeds left off. Nice dryness. Alcohol really well hidden. A nice fruit beer, actually.

Big amber red pour with a thin watery very PINK head. Smell is huge fruit, especially raspberries. Flavor is dull and watery with a strange bitter fruit rind rye-like finish. Kinda ho-hum overall but not undrinkable.

Pours a dark cranberry color with a light pink head. Smell is fruity and berry like, but not very sweet and with an unusual grain like nose from the rye. Taste is dry, rye flavored grain, with light fruitiness which is prominent, but not ver sweet and comes across very mild on the whole. Body is a touch too thin. Interesting beer, but actually seemed to need something else to make the nice flavors pop a bit more.

May 19, 2008 Draft @ Ashley’s: Wow. This is a lovely offering. Pours amber with rose highlights. Taste is sweet; almost cider-y. Has the underlying sweetness of strawberry, tartness of fresh cherry, and roundness of blueberries. Nicely balanced without being too sweet. Went very well paired with my salad!

May 19, 2008 Aroma of raspberries and citrus. Ruby orange hue with an average white head. Flavor is fruity with spicy raspberries dominating. Watery and lively. Light bodied. Ok for a fruit beer but it kind of sucks.
