Nov 1, 2008 Pours a brownish read with a nice light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, raspberry, malt. Flavor is raspberry, roast, malt. Finishes with an odd nutty taste tinged with a bit of artificial raspberry. Worth trying, but not something I’d seek out on a regular basis.

Oct 23, 2008 Reddish brown pour with a thin and short lasting head. It’s been a few years since I had this one, but I remember being surprised that for being both a fruit beer and a New Belgium it was surprisingly tasty. Actually did a power hour with this beer once and was able to complete it, which is pretty damn impressive if I do say so myself. Ah, to be young again...

Aug 31, 2008 I enjoyed it this past winter. I thought it was an alright beer, and I was impressed with the nice flavor of the raspberries. I might pick another pack up this winter if I see it.

Aug 18, 2008 On tap at brewery. Brown with white head. Smells of malt and rasberry and tastes the same. Preaty decent for a brown ale with rasberry added.

Aug 1, 2008 My top rated New Belgium. It is essentially a maltier and cheaper version of Lindemans. Shame it is only out in winter.

Jul 27, 2008 Pours like a cherry cola. Bottom of the glass is a clear light red and as it moves up it turns to a light brown. Strong raspberry aroma with some acidity and metalic notes. Not much else.
The flavor is a sour sweet (not the other way around) but they don’t compliment eachother. Theres this artifical raspberry flavor that rolls around the back of my tongue that I just don’t like. The palate is thin and not very fun at all.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle. Strong but not deep raspberry aroma. Dark red-amber with a steady thinnish head. Somewhat harsh with an unbalanced sweetness. Mildly dry and alcoholic in the finish.
