| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 15, 2002 Dark reddish-brown; aroma like a raspberry tart - very sweet and fruity. Fresh, seedy berry flavours at the beginning, but then giving way to the more confectionary aspects before finishing up sweet & sour. Brown ale not as present as I prefer in the style, which leaves it overall too candyish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 16, 2003 Small beige-pink head atop a deep ruby-brown body. Aroma is medium sweet, definitely raspberry, some butter. Taste reflects the beer's origins -- there's both the sour/sweet raspberry, and nuttiness. Watery medium body, with medium acidity, that hides the alcohol remarkably well. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 23, 2006 12oz bottle. Poured a deeper reddish borwn with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of raspberries and interestingly I was getting some pine and cinnamon. Tastes of lighter raspberries and lighlty nutty. Lacing left on the glass. hopscotch (5537), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 2, 2002 Updated: Mar 30, 2008Bottle... This beer rocks!... The aroma is of heavy malt, fresh raspberries and cherries. This crystal clear ruby-colored beer has very little to no head. What little there is appears to be creamy and off-white. Beautiful beer. The flavor is malty and fruity up front. Guess which fruit!! Extremely well-balanced. Not sweet in the slightest. Lightly bitter and tart on the backside. Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel. Fizzy carbonation. Short, dry and acrid finish. Very nice fruit beer! CaptainCougar (5530), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 6, 2003 Pours a medium brown with a red hue and little head. Fresh ripe raspberry aroma with no noticable hops. The body is slightly sweet, but overpoweringly tart and unbalanced. Had no idea this was 7% abv though. duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 28, 2004 Bottle. Yipes, not too good. Sweet sticky rasberry cola and brown sugar. Tasted like rasbery cordial on top of a below average brwon ale. I seriously have my doubts about New belgium.
