Dark red in color, like raspberry Kool-Aid. Pinkish head that dissipates into a whitish layer on top. The tang of raspberries in the nose, almost had to dunk my nose to get a full aroma. First taste is strong, very strong and malty, hard to detect the real fruit involved, but then it hits you. Blandly. Okay, pretty watered down. I’ve had much better fruit beers.

Sep 23, 2008 Draft from Brewgrass Festival. I’m not sure this is worthy of being served in a flute. It’s definitely better than most mass-produced fruit beers, but it’s no raspberry lambic or Raspberry Tart. Tastes like a Mexican amber with a good deal of raspberries thrown in. The raspberry taste is nearly authentic but not as strong as I like. Just okay, but much more drinkable than most of its style.

Sep 22, 2008 lighter and not very complex, but does offer the rasberry fruit backgrounds which compliment a hot days lunch.

Sep 6, 2008 Pours an amber mahogany with a quickly dissipating head. Aroma is of raspberries, butter, and dust. Medium bodied. Taste is of (drum-roll) raspberries followed by a wet bready interlude and a very dry finish. Fruit beer can be tasty when done right. This one needs a bit more malt depth for it to work but it is better than I expected.

Sep 1, 2008 From a bottle poured ark ruby color with lots of head. Nice raspberry flavor with a quick finish.

Aug 29, 2008 Pours with a foamy off-white head. Redish clear, body. Aroma of berry, honey, wheat, hay and dirt. Taste is slightly metallicy, astringent wheat, with berries in the back. Fizzy and dry.
