daniellerose7 (119), new york, New York, USA May 21, 2008 WARNING: This is a serious beer, not for the faint of heart. Very sweet and fruity, but with a punch in the jaw of alcohol. It is almost like a flavored liquer or brandy. Very serious. Don’t plan on drinking this bottle by yourself. Or with less than three very willing people in the room.

Pours hazy amber.
Aroma of crushed raspberries with a lot of sourness.
Taste, very very boozy, loaded with nice raspberries, light sour taste that tingles the back palate and cheeks.
Some nice caramel malts, but overall it is loaded with alcohol and real fruit puree. KnN (321), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Oct 11, 2008 Pours a murky brown color with little head to speak of. Aroma is sour fruit, raspberries and alcohol. Flavor is nice. Very tart, but there is so much alcohol here. It’s kind of burning the back of my throat. Like a ramped up sour beer with raspberry syrup added. Pretty decent fruit beer. ChristianScheffel (2250), Odense, Denmark Oct 5, 2008 Deep red amber beer with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is dominatedby raspberry and malt, with port and sherry notes from the alcohol, and a touch of...mustard. Sweet and strong flavour, dominated by rapberry and alcohol. asheft (979), Marburg, Germany Oct 5, 2008 [bottle at EBF 2008]
Refreshing, sour fruit aroma: peach and quite a bit of orange. Very slightly medicinal with any hops aroma coming as fruit. Dark red-orange with no top. Awesome fruity flavours balance this strong beer. No saltiness as in many of this style. Malt grain flavour is a bit subdued but the bitterness is very low--sweet fruit. Smooth and slightly mouth puckering from the fruit (not from vinegary acid like in lambics), clean in the end. Skinnyviking (2725), Copenhagen, Denmark Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. High fluffy and lasting off-white head. Slightly hazy reddish body. Raspberries aroma with notes of cream and caramel. Powerful fruity creamy and malty flavor with spicy notes as well as some acidity and alcohol. Low carbonation and a long bitter sweet aftertaste.
