Orange with Red Hue and White Skin. Raspberry Aroma...Medium Mouthfeel and Syrapy Body. Strong Raspberry Flavor Througout...The Fruit Comes Out Enjoyable but Borderlines Artificial...It’s Carried Well by the Body and Alcohol This Brew Has...Sweet Tart...Lightly Bittered Ending. For a Fruit Beer, Quite Enjoyable...And Makes Me Ponder That Perhaps it Could be Improved by a Bigger Bodied Beer to go Alongside the Fruit.

22oz botttle acquired in trade with ppoitras (thanks!). Poured a medium reddish / orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of raspberries with some yeast. Tastes of raspberries. Somewhat syrupy. Sweet with a light tart finish. Wow, 9%, well hidden.

Cloudy orangish brown with a fairly large head, good lacing. Aroma is sweet raspberries and not much else... some sweet malts. Sweet mouthfeel and body, minor tartness. Sweet finish with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Simple and straightforward but it gets the job done.

i like bbc and all, but i just dont get this beer. it just doesnt balance well for me. syrupy rasperry shots followed by notes of coors light, corn, and malt. I guess I was just expecting more.

Pours a dark purplish brown, soft light cream-colored head (pretty fluffy). The smell overwhelms with raspberries and sweet fruit. I was expecting a sour note, but this beer drinks smooth and sweet. Taste is full of old raspberry, apple and strawberry flavors. No real hop character, and the malts are mild if present at all. The body sit heavily on the pallate which is actually quite nice. Kind of like a thin syrup. The alcohol bite gets stronger as the beer warms up but is average at best. Not much going on, but still dangerous to drink with the high ABV %. Very easy to drink.

Pours a reddish brown, it is very dark with no light coming through leaving a 1in thick tan/red tint in the head. The inital smell is raspberry, alcohal, wheat, sugar, no real hop presence to be found. Starts on the palate a carbonated raspberry juice. As it sits on the palate the alcohal is really present. There is a slgiht bitter hop feel on the palate that finishes rough like a spirit. Decent strong ale could use some more aging to mellow out a bit.
