| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 6, 2009 12 oz bottle shared by my girlfriend. Pours a nice reddish rusty copper, a small whitish head, well carbonated, hazy, fiery, head dies to the edges as it clings. Aromas are a combination of coriander, citrus, and a bit of tart raspberry, light maltiness. Mellow coriander and fruit, largely. Initial is a bit sweet, raspberry, citrusy orange, coriander, flaked wheat, moves into a light juicy tartness, a little sweet overall for my liking and the spice doesn’t really help its case. Finish is tart and sweet, lighter bodied, but still leaving a decent layer on the palate. Ok, a bit sweet overall.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 3, 2010 (Bottle into a snifter) I bought this bottle on a whim, wanting to try something different. It poured a rich red color with a rocky pale pink head. The nose was all berries. It reminded me very much of one of those raspberry hard candies I used to have as a kid. Brew was interesting on the tongue, with a fizzy carbonation that almost burned if you let it sit too long. the first tastes are very bitter berry, but in the aftertaste a more full bodied berry flavor did develop. Overall not bad, but you have to be in the mood. I doubt I would seek this out again as I have had much better examples of the style. NJBeerman013 (786), Trenton, New Jersey, USA

| 0.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Jul 28, 2009 I bought this cause I thought it would be a sour rating. Whoops. This is unbearably bad. So sweet I feel like my teeth are rotting every ship I take. Pure HFCS laden garbage. I’d rather eat roadkill than drink any more of this.
