Apr 5, 2008 Thanks to Jason for this one. A clear amber body that becomes muddied by the dregs. Aroma is a wonderful sour apple cider with other fruits as well, namely strawberry and raspberry. Flavor is much the same with a light sourness of raspberry fruit.

Apr 5, 2008 500mL bottle, courtesy of kramer17801. Thanks, Jason! Pours a hazy, reddish-auburn color; mostly headless. Lots of boozy raspberries, dried and pitty red fruits in the aroma; solid fruitiness. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: relaxed carbonation; sticky red fruits (strawberries, raspberries), with a touch of tartness and pittiness; dense fruit beer without being overly sticky; lengthy finish, showing plenty of sugar and red fruit.

Apr 5, 2008 Thanks to kramer17801. Poured into a mason jar a dark purple with a pinkish head. Nose definitely has some strong raspberry aromas, prickly, sugary, tart, dry, a great combination. Smooth, pretty low thickness considering the ABV, with some nicely integrated tart fruit (real fruit) along with some sweeter notes and a little hint of alcohol. Also malts and yeast.

Apr 3, 2008 Tasted at the BA Alesmith release. Surprised to see a Olfabrikken. But good stuff none the less. Interesting flavors of some tart fruits. Also malts and yeast.

Apr 2, 2008 Thanks to cquiroga for sharing at the AS release! Love to see his cellar! Nose smells like raisins mixed with an old time iron supplement like Geritol; hazy brown with a medium beige head; flavor is raisin pie and iron. Unusual In over 1800 other beers I have tasted this flavor in one other beer, but I can’t remember which!

Apr 2, 2008 Thanks to cquiroga for bringing this to the Alesmith Release party line tasting. What a great opportunity. Reddish brown pour. Aromas of blackberry. (maybe it’s because we decided it was a blackberry on the label and not a raspberry.) Somewhat tart. Malty bready aromas too. Flavors were similar with touches of molasses between very fruity blackberry notes. Pretty good.

Mar 31, 2008 En fantastisk øl med en meget kraftig smag af bær. Alkoholen overvælder aldrig den delikate aroma, hvilket er imponerende hvis man tager procenten i betragtning.
