Dec 8, 2008 Great aroma, fresh raspberries come through after even the slightest waft. Good red color when poured in glass. On first sip the fresh raspberries strike the palate, and after a couple seconds the fruit flavor subsides and goes into a pleasant brown ale flavor. These two tastes match each other very well with each sip; it tastes like 2 separate beers, and yet the flavors complement each other at every turn. A great winter beer, recommended!

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle from SunDevil Liquors. This is a very simple beer that pulls off immense complexity. The raspberries are maybe ripe maybe not and really tart the aroma, but the flavor is on the edge of being too grainy and the ripe unripe berries push it right into Wild Ale taste zones. Only wish the brown was more charred.

Dec 1, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy red-brown with a small foamy head. A bit of sourness in the big raspberry aroma and flavor, along with roasted malt and nuts. Just a bit on the thin side. A decent, non-artificial tasting fruit brew.

Nov 27, 2008 12oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Poured a pretty reddish brown with a thin, almost pink head. Nice sour berry aroma. Medium bodied, slightly spritzy mouthfeel. Lots of raspberry in the flavor with some chocolate malt. Slightly sour in a good way. Not overly sweet. No discernible hops. Very drinkable.
I hadn’t had this in a while, and I found it much better than I remembered.
