May 20, 2009 Bottle. Poured a a deep reddish color with a thn off-white head. Nose is dominated by raspberries. Flavor is also dominated by tart raspberry, very sweet but not cloying. Alcohol is not noticeable. Very much like lightly carbonated raspberry juice. Great flavor.

May 18, 2009 Bottle - Looks and smells wonderful, with a deep rose pour, a fizzy head, and real raspberries on the nose. There’s definitely cherries in there too -- sweet and rich. Taste is the same -- raspberries, cherries, and a little woody, oaky flavor. The finish is tart and a little dry. Just a touch of hops and spice on the end. It’s smooth and creamy on the mouth, but the carbonation bites a bit. While it’s a little syrupy and heavy, it never seems cloying to me. I was worried about it being too sweet and cloying, but it’s restrained enough that it’s like drinking liquid dessert without coating your mouth for the next two hours.

May 12, 2009 Sour. Frutity. A desert beer that I know not to do by myself - as I have done with others. Sweet. Syrupy. Excellent.

May 3, 2009 Big thanks to kmadison for this gem. Pours raspberry red with a fruity/ vanilla nose. Flavor confirms this as a dessert beer, and a cordial. Flavor has tons of fresh, hairy, tart raspberries. Excellence in a fruit beer- just enough hops to bring out the sweetness- like salting chocolate cookies. Mild/ moderate carbonation and medium mouthfeel. This is a symphony where everything blends to make music.

May 3, 2009 Completely amazing. Before this beer, I wouldn’t give fruit beers a second thought. I am humbled.

May 2, 2009 Bottle from RustyChiles, thanks man! Poured a deep ruby red color with an inch thick light pink head that faded to a thin layer. Aroma of fresh raspberry jam, a light yeastiness, and some faint Hallertau grass notes. Smooth, sweet entry with a strong raspberry fruitiness paired with a tart berry skin leads into a light yeastiness that finished lightly dry with some soft hoppiness. Moderate carbonation and solid mouth feel. Overall, a very solid example of a fruit beer, but still a bit too sweet for my tastes. Thanks again Rusty.
