Dec 19, 2005 I think this is one of those beers that, like British humour and mangoes, one would either love or hate. To me the overwhelming tartness, combined with a distinct yeastiness, overpowers the malt and leaves the palate dry with an aftertaste of alcohol. It’s very strange, and I don’t like it--but that’s not to say you won’t.

Dec 13, 2005 Intresting flavor and overall brew. I liked the color a deep brown with aslight redish color. Good aroma with a hint of Raspeberries. The flavor was very much like a summer berry beer. This was a good beer but not the best I have had in the berry arena.

Dec 8, 2005 Bottled. Pours brown, with a tan head, leaving a good amount of lacing inside the glass. The aroma is malty with a big raspberry note to it. The flavor is malty and sweet, and the raspberry flavor is complementary rather than overpowering. A nice, medium mouthfeel to this excellent offering from New Belgium.

Dec 7, 2005 Pours a nice reddish brown. Aroma is full of fruit and malts. Big raspberry flavor with hints of chocolate. To sweet and fruity for me to drink more than one. A real good beer.

Dec 4, 2005 Pours dark reddish brown with quarter inch white head. Aroma is predominantly rasberry, like a sherbet. Flavor is clean, crisp. Rasberry malt. The rasberry is so predominant, even in the aftertaste, that traditional beer tastes are very muted. While I was a little wary about fruit beer at first, I found this beer to be very refreshing and drinkable.
