pineypower (892), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA Sep 11, 2008 Pours out a light reddish/pinkish/purpleish color with a small rose colored head. Aroma is very nice of raspberries, bread and some tartness...it was also suggested by a fellow taster that it smelled a bit like seaweed...and honestly I could see that. Anyway the taste totally lets you down. The aroma is good and then down the tubes it goes. Very watery, little to no flavor of raspberries, just some tartness/sourness and slight malt, but other than that this one was a let down dmac (884), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Sep 8, 2008 22 oz bomber from Pineypower thanks Dean. Pours your standard looking very ugly purple/brown body with a small lavenderish bubly head. Aroma was on with lots of raspberry puree aroma ontop of some grainy malts. Very thin body with average carbonation that makes this one feel more like a seltzer then a beer. The flavor reallly is a let down with lots of sourness and tartness apparent but no real fruit raspberrt coming through. Pllllllt total dropped ball on this one Harpoon. OKBeer (1104), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Jan 9, 2008 Sampled at 2007 Brewnosers’ Christmas Gathering. About 2 years old at time of sampling. Amber colour with a pink tint and a light pinkish fizzy head. Aroma seems more strawberry than raspberry with some woody and earthy notes. Strawberry leads the flavour as well with some dry yeastiness and oak. Light bodied, dry but refreshing. tomciccateri (463), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Dec 15, 2007 From a 750ml bottle, pours a deep reddish brown with a light white head and lace. Intense fruity aroma, light-medium body, slightly dry flavor balance where tart fruitiness dominates at the finish. rocbyter (658), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Oct 25, 2007 Strong raspberry aroma. Dark red color with some foam. Tart taste. Highly carbonated.
