Aug 27, 2008 This is underrated: Pours a reddish almost burgundy color, good head retention that leaves a thin yet sturdy lace behind, semi tart raspberry nose, clean aroma, smooth mouth feel with a thin malt palate, light tart raspberry flavor, malt stays thin as well as the hop bitterness but this helps the fruit to shine, drying grain and tart raspberry finish off the brew, a well done fruit ale.

Aug 27, 2008 Blush color, mainly red with sunny oranges on the edges. THin ring of big, white bubbles. Smells of cherry/rasberry malt, somewhat lactic, along with caramel and taffy, burnt sugar flavors. Taste is rather bad; it begins with sweet, sour and acidic berries. Thin, watery body. Aftertaste comes much later and is cherries, blueberries and wheat.

Aug 25, 2008 Initially it was pretty good. It starts to taste watered down halfway though. Not a lot of head. A little tart, not that bad for a fruit beer.

Aug 18, 2008 12 ounce bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured an amber-brownish body with a medium off-white head. Fresh berry nose that was superior to artificially flavored others. Crisp, cereal with a mild tartness perhaps from the fruit. Excellent fruit beer. Quenching, subtle, and well built.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle from Papago. I should give this one another shot. Beautiful tart nose and pink ruby color, but I just wasn’t mad about the flavor. I din’t think the balance was there, and between the initial berry sharpness and the malt, there is another sourness that I couldn’t place or reconcile. Almost like fruit starting to turn, but nothing that drastic I’m sure. Curious.
