Pours reddish pink, dissipating head. Aroma is boldly of raspberries. Flavor is very dry, really no residual sweetness. Body is light. Refreshing.

Pours an interesting magenta color with almost no head. Very fruity smell, obviously raspberries. Tastes pretty much like bad raspberry juice - extremely fizzy for a beer. Couldn’t drink more than a few gulps.

Tap at the brewpub - they were out of the spuyten duyvil, so I ordered this - "oak aged? sounds good." - wrong - looks and smells like artificial raspberry flavor and sugar - the flavor is thin, tart, and uncomplex, tasting kind of like unsweetened raspberry soda - some slight fruit skin notes come into play, but mostly this uninteresting, bordering on a drain pour.

sampled at the brewpub. Very red in color, with a small off white head. Aroma is fresh rasberries and that is about it. Taste is tart fresh rasberries, tart, with a lightly tart and fruity finish. Not complex at all, but still tastes ok.

Sampled at the brewpub, reddish color, with a ring of white head, intense raspberry nose, with a hint of almondy pit, with a juicy tart raspberry and wildberry jam aroma follows through on a medium-bodied tart palate with a juicy acidic and tart raspberry fruitiness character, sharp bitter almondy pit note, leading towards a mild raspberry fruity tartness finish, lack of complexity.
