May 16, 2007 Sampled at the 5th Annual Wildland Firefighters Benefit & Festival. Beer is nearly opaque very dark brown with a larger-than-average, creamy-frothy, tan head. Diminishing, but mostly lasting.<P>
The aroma is malty with a moderate note of roasted grain, light notes of creamy chocolate, cookie and molasses; Hoppy with a light note of grassy alfalfa; Yeasty with a trace of basement; Light miscellaneous note of sugary raspberry jam.<P>
The flavor is moderately-to-heavily sweet, lightly bitter with a long, trace acidic, lightly sweet finish. Some jammy raspberry rets. Fruity brightness in the finish.<P>
The body is medium, the texture is watery-velvety and the carbonation is average.

May 8, 2007 Pumphouse Fest 2007. Head is mostly lasting. Body is light brown. Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, chocolate), with notes of cherry and raspberry. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. The look and feel, so to speak, of this one are nice, and while the aroma isn’t particularly complex, it is attractive. But as with many fruit beers, sourness and bitterness fight to balance the sweetness and end up being awkward. Not bad though.
