So yummy. Reminds me of Loves Baby Soft perfume and Forenza sweaters. Like being smart enough in Jr. High and smart enough to appreciate it without being stuck up. Also, it tastes like the smell of your corsage when attending your first prom. Yummy!

Pours a rosey, amber honey color w/ a full, semi creamy froth. Aroma of malted raspberries. Medium to full nectar w/ ample residual effers. Posseses a definable raspberry essence, w/ a mild hop component. Very complex. I taste strawberry, cherry, and some citrus fruit. Not too sweet as I did imagine being it was loaded with a 2K lbs. of raspberries per batch. It finishes long and fruity with a cigar smoked feeling. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall it’s a well ballanced brew. I was impressed and will recommend. A nice replacement for a bottle of fruity/sweet wine.

Great for what it is, a fruit beer. If your looking for a beer with fruit, go elswhere, but for a dessert beer, this is pretty good. Actually gonna try mixing it with Dogfish’s Indian Brown for a rasberry brown ale.

The best fruit beer I’ve had. The aroma is more wine than beer. Nice cloudy amber color. Taste is sweet and fruity with an alcohol bite to warm you up. Dogfish Head has done it again.

Oh yeah ... forgot to give a great big shout out to Mike and Katie - the remarkable DFH team that was on the case and made this entire thing a remarkable reality.
