Pours a deep blood red with a large red head. Huge raspberry aroma. Flavor is tart raspberry, some malt, other dark fruit, more raspberry. Sour finish, decent carbonation. This beer is great for sharing as an after dinner desert. Very interesting. I always find the top half of the bottle to be much more tart, and the lower half to be a bit sweeter. Seems like each glass is like that as well. I pour and share according to peoples taste. A bit of age takes some edge off of the sweet as well.

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.
