Thanks to Irishboy for the sample. i really really enjoyed this one. it was tart at the beginning for half a second, and then you tasted the full aroma of rasberries with a twist of sweetness, but not over doing it. loved it!

Jun 26, 2009 Sampled draft at HopCat (Grand Rapids, MI). Pours a dark luminescent red, rusty yet glowing, good reddish head that clings to the glass after it dies. Aromas are straight raspberry puree, a bit tart, a bit sweet, seemingly natural, lively. Initial is very raspberry, a little sweet, reminiscent of jam with light tartness and sourness, the sweetness dominates. Finishes tart and refreshing, the body a little too sweet for me but vindicated in the finish. Not bad, lively, just a little one dimensional. Cheers!

Jun 14, 2009 Draught. Hazy ruby body with little to no head. Delightfully sour tasting with fusion notes of strawberry, raspberry, and apple. Sweet and delicious.

Jun 10, 2009 Bottle from Zinister at the Houston sour tasting. Thanks, man! Pours like liquified strawberry preserves with a nose of coppery raspberry Fruit Roll-Up. Flavor is sweet, sugar-melted raspberry. Average mouthfeel. Not bad.

Jun 4, 2009 4 oz. sample. The pour produces a clear, visibly viscous deep ruby colour with a thin, wispy white head that fades to a ring. The nose is extremely artificial smelling, coming off more like freshly opened Swedish Fish rather than actual raspberries. The flavour is exactly the same, with only the slightest suggestion of grassy, herbal hops. Decent medium carbonation and syrupy palate. Oddly, it is enjoyable because of its ridiculously sweet flavour and ever-so-slight funk.

Jun 2, 2009 Bottle pours a burnt ruby color with a creamy light pink head. The initial aroma explodes full of raspberries with background notes of cookie dough and a slight amount of funk. The taste is slightly more artificial than the nose let on, showing raspberry preserves. Maybe even spread on a biscuit?? The overall body is relatively light with non abrasive carbonation. The mid-palate is somewhat tart, but definately needed to help balance the crisp, sweet finish. Somewhat cloying in my honest opinion.

May 22, 2009 Tap @ Rattle n Hum. Pour is foggy ruby. Taste is like a raspberry explosion, slight funk and apples in the background. Extremely juicey and vivid... almost captures the fruity essence in a way I have only seen Selins Grove do 3.95

May 16, 2009 On Tap at Rattle N Hum. Pours a dark ruby red body with no head. The aroma is raspberry and cherry. The flavor is the same - very delicious and freshing.
