Commercial Description:
The voluminous raspberry bouquet will greet you long before your lips touch your glass. Serve this Wisconsin framboise very cold in a champagne flute. Then hold your glass to a light and enjoy the jewel-like sparkle of a very special ale. Oregon proudly shares their harvest of mouth-watering berries, which we ferment spontaneously in large oak vats. Then we employ Wisconsin farmed wheat and year old Hallertau hops to round out this extravaganza of flavor.

Pours dark red, light pink head. Aroma is raspberries. Thicker mouth feel with a strong raspberry flavor and a dry, tart finish.

750ml Bottle pours out a dark red topped with a light pink head. A nice aroma of berries. Great tast with some very nice tart at the end pretty good stuff. Not as good as the cherry but still good. Thanks Footbalm for this one.

Pour is a nice bright red with a pink head. Aroma is outstanding. No need bringing the glass to your nose you can smell the raspberrys from across the room. Flavor is of course more raspberrys with a super sweet-tart pucker. Super fresh tasting fruit beer.

Wow, a deep raspberry aroma. All raspberry. It does not have anything else in the aroma, at least to my weak nostrils. Taste follows suit for the most part with an ending sourness. Just really good, yummy stuff.

Glub glub glub, out it comes, slowly. Dark red body, obviously thick and sticky as soon as it hits the glass and sticks to whatever surface it touches. A very small off-white head with orange and pink hues fades to a ring of fat bubbles nearly instantaneously. The aroma is as close to raspberry preserves as the real thing. No hints of alcohol, no medicinal notes, just big, fat, exploding raspberries. The flavor is incredibly sweet and very lightly tart, with no bitterness and a hint of acidity. The finish is lightly tart, all raspberry and modest in length for such powerful beginnings. The mouthfeel is absurdly thick and certainly unfiltered, leaving bits of raspberry seeds stuck between the teeth. Massive full body, light fizzy carbonation.

A beer that excels at excess. This is the thickest beer I have ever had. I could repeat this statement fifty times and not get my feelings across adequately. What a monstrous mouthfeel. Really fun to drink.

Oh my god, what a joy. Pours a dark red/purple color. Taste is very tart and a bit sour with a perfect flavor of raspberries. I saw the vats that this is made in and was told that a pound of fruit goes into every bottle. Pure beer magic!

12 ounce bottle. Fluted type glass. Deep reddish amber with, get this, a pink head. Aroma was all raspberry. No surprises here. The flavor was very tart and very raspberry with a touch of sourness. This one was more like a sparkling wine or wine cooler than a beer. Very nice for what it is, although it does not live up to New Glarus Belgian Red.

Brick red with redish white small head. Nose is all raspberry. Flavor is raspberry up front with a nice mouthfeel. Finish is acidic, almost tomato juice like, with the acid from the berries. Beautiful beer in this one.
