Bouteille 750ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur rubis foncée et voilée. Nez très fruité légèrement aigre et sucré (framboises naturelles et en confitures, traces de pommes cidreuses) avec de faibles notes boisées. Ronde-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement bas mais croustillant (rappelant un cidre ou un champagne) et une texture sirupeuse fruité. Goût fruité sucré et légèrement aigre (framboises naturelles et rappelant la confiture, notes de pommes cidreuses, traces de citron) avec quelques traces de vanille lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût progressivement plus aigre de framboises aisni qu’un arrière-goût moyennement sucré de sirop de framboises (tout en évitant tout goût artificiel) tout au long de la gorgée et ce, jusqu’en finale, légèrement asséchante et aux petites notes boisées. Post-goût long et un peu sec, aigre de fruits (framboises sucrées) avec de faibles notes de pelures de pommes.

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.

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.

Nov 1, 2008 Bottle thanks to JB175...shared with Swalden 28, and ericsandersnavy. Pours a dark brown with some reddish highlights and a foamy light brown-to slightly pinkish head with some good lacing. Aroma of veery fresh raspberries, some berry brandy, a tart element, some farm, and a bit of smoke towards the very end. Taste is raspberry syrup with some light tartness and a touch of brett. Light mouthfeel, slightly creamy with lively bubbles.
