Commercial Description:
This beer is an adaptation of a wheat beer brewed in Berlin known as a Berliner weiss. This is a cloudy blond coloured beer lightly tinted by the fruits which are steeped in it: either strawberry, raspberry or blueberry depending on the time of year. It is a highly acidic beer due to the lactic fermentation which takes place. Its aromas are acid, tart, and fruity.A light tasting beer, its acidity is quickly felt on each side of the tongue before leaving all the room for the wonderful fruity taste.

Draft...RBSG2005...This beer rocks!... This cloudy red lager was my session beer during my five day stay in Montreal as I visited Dieu Du Ciel each evening. It’s topped by a large, frothy, pink head. Good retention. Tart, barely-ripe raspberries, light lemon and vanilla in both the aroma and every sip. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes very tart and dry. I really couldn’t get enough of this stuff. World class thirst quencher!

A nostril-bending, lush, raspberry perfume of perfection lures to a moderately sour lemon juice elevator...Ripe, bulbous raspberries accompany your palate for the ride to the firmament as pomegranate seeds adorn the citrus lift...The door opens after this sublime ascension of authenticity and complexity onto a windswept wheat field surrounded by full clouds and a puzzling silence...Slowly, the cherished fruit reappear and soothe the soul as they had promised...Thought processes become futile and this estival moment reveals its stunning drinkability...

2005 RBSG Montreal Saturday. Pale red colour with a frothy pink hued white head. Tart raspberry, lactic, lightly dusty and yeasty aroma. Tart raspberry, dry and wheaty flavours, then finishing somewhat milky and dry. Very light and thin, but dry, incredibly refreshing, quenching, and juicy. I want some more!

Tap. Beautiful bright ruby red in colour, medium sized lasting pink head, some lace. The aroma was of sour raspberries, tart, acidic, some lemon and wheat. The flavour was tart and sour, lots of raspberries, soft and perfumy, acidic. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes with a lingering sourness. Very refreshing.

Solstice d’Été 2002 (rasberry): This one sure has some tartness to it. The color is luminescent rasberry and makes you drool on a hot summer afternoon. Big rasberry and wheat aroma. Onlike Rasberry Mort Subite, this beer doesn’t have those sirupy mouthfeel and flavour. It’s got a nice acid bite with a big tartness and you sure can taste the fruit. You can even taste the seeds leaving your tongue a bit rough but wanting more.

Reddish-pink color, raspberries, lipstick, cheese and soy in the nose. Sour, sour, sour mouth of raspberries, cheese, earth and cobwebs. Tart raspberry finish. Very nice stuff. Try doing a half and half with one of their stouts for another treat.

Bright red color, pink head. Raspberry aroma, tart, some lemon, mild wheat. Wonderful flavor, tart raspberries, huge sourness, lemon, wheat. Incredibly dry, this stuff attacks the palate with a vengeance. Very refreshing. Wow, quite an intersting surprise. Delicious.
