Oh dear, looks like I’m on my own here... I know it’s wrong and it probably contains fruit juice and chemicals, but there’s something about the combination of raspberry and the pastryish sweetness of the Badger yeast that works here. Before the saccharine bitterness kicks in. Yes it’s sweet, yes it’s gimmicky, yes it’s a bit synthetic, yes the raspberry suffocates everything else, but....I like it. Raspberry ripple, shortcake, a nibble of hop bitterness. Almond in the aroma as it warms. OK.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy combined with notes of elderberry flowers and blueberries. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, muffins, raspberries, and bread, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks to fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.

Aug 30, 2008 Bottle. A clear, golden pour leaves a quite small, off-white head. Fennel, toffee and some raspberry in the aroma, quite unusual but far from a bad blend. Flavors of anise, caramel and a touch of berries on a biscuity background. Biscuity, berry-like finish. A rather special beer, but quite nice. Not a beer I could down by the numbers, but maybe it suits some food. (080822)

Aug 24, 2008 50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Fruity/peachy into a more berry like aroma. Initial sweet berry fruity with an abrupt aspertam like stop of the sweetness, yet lasting fruity flavoured. Lingering fruity/berry finish. Blueberry again perhaps, yet lable says raspberry.

Aug 17, 2008 Phew! Summer my arse. Tastes like over baked rasins in an oatmeal cookie. Can’t get the bloody taste out - oil reside. No bad, but a funky drop that - I wouldn’t drink in any heat, even a filthy sweaty stinking English summer. Autumn Winter maybe - Summer???NOT! Way to big.... for a low alc. beer.

Aug 9, 2008 Clear with a nice fruity aroma upon opening.This fruitiness, which is predominately raspberry, continues.The fruitiness does not overpower what is an excellent summer beer.recommended.
