On tap at the Pints for Pets Brewfest. Clear reddish gold with loads of carbonation. Spritzy, fruity, white wine aroma and taste. The fruits come through fantastically, and accent the light grape/vinous feel of the Gran Met. My favorite Voodoo brew, hands down.

From bomber. Fruity vaporous aroma, with mild alcohol. Kirschwasser, cherry skins and fruity esters. Light tripel aroma with mild yeasty notes. Fruity and sweet, rich in smell. Each sniff gets you a little something different. Golden orange-pink-amber cloudy body. Starts initially with a pillowy white head, that dissipates to a thin veneer with a bit of lacing. The carbonation is fairly robust starting out, then smooths a bit as it sits. The beer itself is rather light bodied despite the flavors, no doubt helped along by the 9.5% alcohol. There is prominent warming from the start, and this would make an excellent after dinner or dessert beer on crisp Fall evenings. It starts with a subtle hit of fruit, with a dry carbonic tang that tapers off to give resonant notes of over-ripe cherries, raspberry must, and what must be passion fruit (not really familiar with the fruit itself). Alcohol and a fruity dry tartness that’s reminiscent of a Riesling, actually. The hops are subtle in flavor, but provide a lifting bitterness in the finish which helps subdue the tart fruity character. This is not an overly sweet beer, despite candy sugar on the label. The after leaves you with a nice fruity profile, mild yeast-hop bitterness, and some dry chalky coating on the palate. Overall, it’s a bit thin until you get some of the dregs in there. A little extra body and yeasty character is added by that. Would be interesting to set this down for a year and see how it cools down.

This fruit beer pours a light pinkish amber color from a 22oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is passion fruit, raspberries, with some tart cherries. A medium bodied fruit beer. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are slightly spicy. Lots of tart raspberry and passion fruit flavors in front of a solid malt backbone. Nicely balanced. An interesting beer, don’t think I can recall those combinations of fruit being used before. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. The aftertaste is slightly bitter and tart.

Bottle from Capone’s. Turbid deep coppery orangy pour with pink highlights near the edges, and a 1-finger, fizzy, off-pink head. Unique look here. The aroma is nice; heavy raspberry, passion fruit, cherry, funky yeasty hints, and candi sugary malt. The palate is medium heft, fairly complex, and evolves throughout, with flavors of raspberry, passion fruit, pomegranate, funky yeasty mid-palate notes, and finishing candi sugary malt and mild florals. A worthy effort from a new PA brewer.

Pours a transparent bright golden bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet and tart cherries with some oaky notes and toasty caramel malty sweetness. Body starts with good fullness and sweet malty and fruity character before a drier, slighty doughy finish. Very well balanced, unique, smooth and drinkable. A nice Belgian styled fruit beer.
