The flavor is rich raspberry jam and wine, with hints of cheese, raspberry soda pop, and lemonade. It has a kind of essential flavor that is a little hard to pin down. Well-balanced and goes down easy. It is hard to believe this is a beer at all! Another remarkable creation from New Glarus. stoutscout (3), Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, USA does not count | 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 6, 2008 Delicious. Dark ruby color. Smooth taste of raspberries. Has a enormous amount of flavor. Would buy again. Really liked it. MrChopin (654), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 29, 2008 <i>Thanks to fantomas23 for the bottle!</i> Pours Ruby, fluffy pink head. Nose is all raspberries, rather singular. The flavor is a little more lactic but practically the same, very sweet. Mouth is refreshing but a little creamy in the aftertaste, not as crisp as I’d hoped. Very tasty stuff, but I can’t help wondering that there must be better tasting juice out there.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 21, 2008 Back in the day I was a fiend for the raspberry beers, a lot has changed since those days. But one thing has not; this was then and remains to be a favorite of mine. The beer pours a beautiful light purple with a large lasting pink head. Aroma is of fresh raspberries, a faint oak, and yeasty funk. The taste is remarkably tart and slightly sour and dominated by the fruit accented by yeast and very light malt. The beer is well rounded and has a sharp initial mouthfeel.
Oh, and this was also served at my wedding too.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Deep purple color, true purple foam head. Great fruit beer, share with a mate. Too sugary, sweet tasting. Its raspberry and tart, period. A rare treat, glad to open with sleepy the night he takes the reigns at Ginger Man. ericandersnavy (1128), crossroads, Texas, USA
