Very deep cherry in colour, creamy and lasting off-white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is all raspberries - real raspberries, high sweetness, some jam. The flavour is of raspberry jam, good tartness, sweet, rich. Very sweet mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes long with lots of raspberry sweetness.
This is excellent. Very well balanced, high drinkability, only 4% alc?? Seems like it should be more. Incredible. I actually tried a sip of this with a bit of peanut butter, it was amazing.

Jun 30, 2008 very fruity pleasant scent of raspberries. Pour is very dark red with quickly disappearing head that dissolves into a pink ring around the outside of the glass. taste is obviously raspberries, but it is done just right. this is the best fruit beer I have ever had. Very nice. In my opinion, this is better than the Belgian Red. I would certainly purchase this again.

Jun 30, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours a murky reddish brown, does not have a "jewel-like sparkle," aroma is pure raspberries and it is wholly genuine, wonderfully tart raspberry flavour, malty and bright, this was a wonderful sour...

Jun 21, 2008 Updated: Aug 4, 2008Drunk out of a Guinness pilsner glass, it’s a pretty heavy, reddish purple alcohol-containing substance that feels more like a wine and reminded me of sourish sweet tarts. Do not expect an ale-like drink.

Jun 21, 2008 Updated: Jan 11, 2009[Bottle] shared by EddyB23. Pours a cloudy rose red with a small soapy head. Aroma is tons of fresh raspberries. mouthfeel is very fresh and crisp. Tons of raspberries and maybe a little tart wheat malt. The beer has the perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a nice acidity and a perfect amount of carbonation.
------ Appearance same as above. The aroma is much sweeter than I remember. The taste is also extremely sweet, and more than a glass of this makes my throat hurt from the sugars. Aside from that, the flavors are incredible with the crazy fresh raspberry.

Jun 13, 2008 Pours a dark burgundy in color. Nice, good looking inch of head at the pour. Smell is juicy, tart raspberry.
Taste is tart, sweet, dark, wonderful raspberries. A little acidic on the taste as well. Very good beer. As tough as it is to say, I think I personally prefer the Belgian Red to this. Both are incredible.

Jun 13, 2008 A really tasting brew all the way around. Beautiful bright red colour with plenty of raspberry flavor throughout the taste. Aromas very tropical and sweet, a light mouthfeel, plenty of carbonation with a champagne like head that foams up and quickly dissipates.
