wheresthepath (274), Buckinghamshire, England May 16, 2008 [bottle from Sainsbury’s, Reading] Like raspberryade - tastes overpoweringly of raspberry (and a fairly artificial raspberry flavour at that). Almost no hint of beer at all. Nice for, ooh, one mouthful? Then just ridiculously sweet.
yespr (7782), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 21, 2008 37.5 cL bottle at at West brewing. Pours clear and deep golden amber to brown with a huge fizzy pink and lasting head. Ssweet raspberry aroma with a mild wooden note. Smooth and fruity raspberry base flavour. Smooth and slight sweet finish with a smooth raspberry finish. cgarvieuk (2609), Edinburgh, Scotland Oct 26, 2008 Bottle at home .. This once a bit of a delima as its quite easy drinking, but there again so is squash... dark brown only a liuttle red in colour ... sweet one dimensional raspberry ... soft thin mouthfell and a bit over fizzy ... reasonable raspberry. tones little citric... and definitly a bit jammy... i would imagine very plesant chilled on a summers day but as a sit down beer it lacks something saxo (2431), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Oct 21, 2008 Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is ruby. Aroma and taste are rich with raspberries, malt and citrus. Doppelganger (1214), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Oct 12, 2008 Bottle, Cape Of Good Hope, Oxford. Red with pink-white head. Raspberry jam and vanilla aroma. Raspberry syrup flavor, with not much else. Sweetened fruit beers tend to one of my guilty-pleasure sorts of beers. But even being inclined favorably to this sort of thing, I found this one-dimentional and heavy handed. Not unpleasant, but also not unlike the result of stirring a spoonful of raspberry jam into a glass of soda water. fonefan (5507), Ulfborg, Denmark Oct 1, 2008 <b>Bottle 375ml. @ chris o’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2008.</b><br />Clear medium red color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white - light pink head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy raspberry sweet. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (020808)
