Dec 11, 2008 Bottled. Nice fruit beer. Easy to drink and nothing over the top. For me it started out like a normal brown ale and then finished with the raspberry qualities. Thanks to New Belgium for helping distribute this style a little wider.

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 Sour and malty with a nice raspberry component that really makes a great drink. Nutty and slightly roasted with moderate sweetness and a light sourness .

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.
