Sep 1, 2009 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of raspberries. Poured amber/brown/slight magenta in color with a small, dense, pinkish head that diminished but lasted as a film on top of the beer. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of small particles throughout. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of raspberries, malts, and grains. Light to medium body. Texture is dry but the dryness fades fast. Average carbonation. Sweet, raspberry and light malt finish.

Aug 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orangish-red with a small bubbly white head. Fruity aroma, of raspberry juice and a bit of malt and yeast. Taste is juicy and crisp, of raspberries, malt, grass. Lingering juiciness that ends watery. Not great.

Aug 22, 2009 Aroma is rather raspberry-ish. Cloudy almost brown and murky from the sediment on the bottom of the bottle. Does have that raspberry background on the initial taste but that is soon overidden by typical ale attributes. Seems to be much higher in the alky than the 4.5% listed here. Tartness is apparent but not the tartness associated with sours, its more like an unsweetened Koolaid drink. Decent carbonation for a hopped beer. Too much hops for a fruit beer and too much hops for a lager lover. Has a medicinal medium length finish.

Aug 18, 2009 The pour is dark orange. There is a fake smelling raspberry aroma, but not much else. The taste is similar. It’s not bad, but just can’t overcome a fake flavoring,

Aug 16, 2009 In bottle at bent river. Selected from the cooler of wonders, it pours rich amber and has only a faint aroma of berries. Very tasty. Perhaps a raspberry beer champion. It tastes like a well-hopped beer, with some raspberries hanging out. In other words, very balanced.

Aug 14, 2009 Fine, but nothing special. Raspberry is subdued, mostly with hints of tart/sour on the sides and back of the tongue.

Aug 6, 2009 Bottle. Somewhat faint aroma with hints of fruit. Hazy bronze with soda-like effervescence in the head that disipates nearly as quickly, leaving no head. Raspberry is nearly perfect. Sweetness of fruit but not at all cloying. Carbonation and moderate malt backbone fill in for balance. Really well done and surprisingly underrated.
