Sampled at Dickinsonbeer’s Hoboken gathering - man, this stuff was pretty vile - perhaps it was because I had some really awesome beers this day, but this one stood out as the most terrible - looked at smelled like a raspberry wheat - tasted like cough syrup (the kind they make really sweet and fruity to try to fool children into taking it - but they know better) - just plain bad.

Aug 6, 2008 22oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Hazy peach/pink colored liquid pours from the bottle, topped with minimal foam. Smells of raspberry, cherry, yeast. Tastes of raspberry, dough, medicinal, metallic. A bit sharp at the front of the tongue. Finishes fairly dry with some lingering warmth. Sorry guys it smells good but isn’t very drinkable.

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle shared by Scott Blair at Hamiltons. (Scott, you rock!) Pours a bright orange pink with no head. The nose is full of tartness from cherries and raspberries. The upfront flavor was off, but after waiting 15 minutes, it mellowed and was more drinkable. Raspberries stood out the most, with a dryness in the finish. I know you sat on this one for a while, Scott. Sorry it wasn’t what we all hoped!

Jul 20, 2008 Hmm, this is going to be a strange one. Very little head from a somewhat vigorous pour. Pinkish orange in color with a TON of floaters. I am guessing some kind of fruit puree? Initial aroma of something funky then it mellows out. Lots of fruity aromas in here. Cherry, raspberry and some tartness. Light fruit flavor. Better than I expected. More cherry and raspberry. This is 9.5% alcohol. Hides it amazingly well. Light tartness from the raspberries, Dry palate and a bit puckering. Tastes like a less fruity and more malty wine cooler. Finishes a little tart and dry. A decent brew. Kind of reminds me of DFH Fort but less over the top. Better than expected.

Jul 13, 2008 Bomber...A very sediment filled body...light copper in color...the head is light and fluffy...its off-white with a tinge of pink...nose is ripe raspberries, a hint of cherries, and just a light sweet fruit muddle...flavor is like a sweet and sour raspberry...I get some mango essences too which may be the passion fruit (not very familiar with its taste)...Its hard to believe this beer is 9.5%!...only a hint of alcohol comes through on the finish....a good fruit brew, unique....its lively in the mouth, yet is solid and has good complexity...the mid-palate holds a sweet yeasty taste that also shows up in the finish for a quick visit...yum!

Jun 28, 2008 Poured a hazy gold color with an off-white head. The aroma was light but sweet with notes of alcohol. The flavor was light and fruity with cherry notes.
