2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
An unclear red beer with a small disappearing red head. The aroma is dominated by cherries. The flavor is sweet with loads of cherries - though artificial. The end is dry - but where is the sourness???

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On Tap at the Wynkoop Brewery, Denver 29/09/2005
Dark red coloured with some alcohol present. Hoppy. Crisp slightly dry raspberry fruit flavour finish.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
I’m pretty sure I saw the ABV at 8.2% on the menu. Muddy, pinkish hue crowned by a diminishing head. Heavily grainy nose, bready, soapy and loaded with raspberry potion. The wood undertones once again hint at oxidation while tea-like tannins fight off the biting carbonation. Vinous, tart and simplistic fruit beer.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught. Pours dark raspberry brown with an edgy pink head. Fragrant raspberry malt (meal) aroma. Yeasty raspberry malt flavor. Medium bodied and fizzy palate.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught, Wynkoop, Denver.
Head is pink, mostly diminishing.
Body is dark purple-red.
Aroma is trace malt (toasted grain), with a note of raspberry.
Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic.
Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic.
Medium to full body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation.
Simple and sweet, just the way a lot of people like fruit beers (think New Glarus Raspberry Tart).
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a brownish red color with a light pink head. Aroma of tart cherry and brett. Weak cherry taste with a touch of tartness. Way too much carbonation. I believe I will hit another brewpub next time in Denver.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap @ Wynkoop: Poured a hazy purple color with a pink head. The aroma had big raspberry notes. Very fruity with a hint of tartness... The flavor was lightly tart and fruity. Raspberry and tannic fruit skins.
