350ml bottle shared with Naka. Pours slight purple with an amber hue, slightly hazy w/ beige head, small and foamy w/ good lacing. Nose is berry w/ a touch of bready yeastiness. Blackberry taste, not overpowringly sweet, a touch of sour towards the end. There’s some malt character in the middle somewhere. Dry, sour finish. Thin mouthfeel with little carb.

Pours a dark cranberry red color with a small pinkish beige head. Very sour aroma of raspberries and alcohol. Very tasty despite its overly fruity aroma. A nice balance of sour and raspberry taste.

Pours rich murky maroon with a mild beige head. Smell of fresh raspberry puree. Taste is perfectly, lightly sweet, noticeably tart and well balanced. Good rich body and perfect lightly bubbly carbonation. Very easy drinking and a fantastic tasting and all around beer. Will definitely get more of this!

Bière de couleur caramel avec des reflets cuivrés, donne une mousse beige et rosée moyenne mais très persistante. Arôme de framboise prononcé avec un caractère surette. Le goût est sucré et surette, fruité (framboises et fraise) avec un arrière-goût de confiture. Le palais est rond, velouté, crémeux et légèrement pétillant. Pas aussi vif qu’un Champagne, comme prétend la description commerciale, mais modérée, ce qui est à son avantage je crois. Très bonne bière de fruits, trouvé dans une épicerie haut de gamme (Corneau et Cantin). Superbe et accessible à la fois !

375ml bottle. Opaque brown colour with a slight hint of red. Next to no head. Pronounced raspberry aroma with some yeast. Flavour of sweet raspberry with some sourness and a dry finish. Very good.

Bottle purchased at Spirits RB. Pours a murky brown with slight ruby highlights around the far edges and an average size foamy white head that has just a hint of pink. Big sour raspbery aroma that is both sugary and sour at the same time. Light bodied with not much carbonation that is refreshing. Flavor is a drop off from the aroma and the raspberry flavor seems artificial like a package of Sweet-n-Low was used to give it sweetness. Overall an average beer that is nothing to seek out.
