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.

I bought this in the bottle at Trenton Road Takeout in Fairless Hills PA. The aroma is fruity, but the alcohol is very, very aparant. It’s almost like drinking a wine, the taste is fruity, and the alcohol is overwhelming, good beer, not for a beginer, if you like wine, try it.

750 ml bottle. bottled 11/13/06. enjoyed june 8th 2008. 10-5-10-4-20-4.9 aquired from a trade with mcbackus. this was a bonus bottle and what a bonus it turned out to be. pours deep hazy brown with a nice tan head. carbonation stays with you through the bottle. 4 hrs after cracking this brew still produced a lively head upon pouring. aromas are american barley wine with raspberries drizzle on top. lots of fruitiness but with noticeable malt stucture. the 18% ABV creeps around the corner just to make sure you dont think of taking this one lightly. the flavour is amazing. american barley wine in nature with the fruit showing up in all the right places. terrific stuff. i did not go into this one with high hopes but i was blown away with the balance and drinkability of this brew. matt if you have more of these to spare please let me know. wow the second time i enjoyed this was equaly magnificent if not better then the first. if anyone has a bottle to spare please consider me as a worthy recipient. best fruit beer ever!! ill gladly entertain any hope of adding one of these to my cellar! Second bottle of this aquired from a trade with dkachur. bottled 7/6/07. enjoyed August 26th 2008. 8-5-8-3-16-4.0 the aroma was still enjoyable but with some heat on the end. the alcohol really shows in this bottle. still pretty good but not nearly as enjoyable as the first. if i ever get enother one of these ill know that it needs at least 2years to come together. my rating is a blend of the 2 bottles ive had.

750 ml bottle. Pours a reddish amber color. Aroma: Raspberries (duh). Flavor: Raspberries (double duh), somewhat tart, with a strong alcohol finish.

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.
