Big brown odd shaped bottle. Lucious raspberry fruity aroma. Smells like many real lambics I’ve sampled. Cloudy dark looking beer with an alabaster pink head. Delicious raspberry taste amoung other ale attributes, fairly nice! For over 5%, hides the alky content very well. Enjoyable, perhaps a very nice holiday beer. Could drink this stuff all day. Fruity and friendly, a character that is lacking in most fruit beers which lack real fruit character. There is this slight hint of bitterness in the background that keeps you alert to the fact that it is an ale. Good tingle carbonation on the palate. Finish is quite good except for that average bitter ale bite building on the center of the tongue. Not bad overall and I found this to be a beer worth it’s $!

500 ml bottle from GM LIquors. Nose of raspberries with moderate sweetness. Clear raspberry red with a moderate pinkish head. Flavor is raspberry with a mild tartness, not as sweet as their strawberry.

pink head reminded me of Lindeman’s Framboise. Some sweet malt behind lots of fruit in the nose. Nice body with a strong raspberry flavor and sweet finish.

Hazy deep rose red with a nice pink head. Obvious sweet raspberry up front with some floral and pancake notes. The taste was raspberry up front with some notes of green plant matter, almost woody. There was also some hint of black pepper. Nicely made and fairly subtle.

Can’t taste any beer qualities. Dry raspberry mouth feel. Tastes like a liquid raspberry Sweet Tart. Medicinal bitterness and aspirin like in the aftertaste. Chemical citric acid presence.

Bottle from Party Source. Poured clear reddish brown with a large off-white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Good raspberry friut aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This beer met my expectations and went well with my grilled cheese.

Bottle from the Binny’s in Orland Park, Illinois: It poured a ruby/pink body with a sizeable pinkish white head. It smelled like strawberry jam and pretty much tasted the same. Which means, I s’pose, that it would be better if it was thicker and I could spread it on bread. But I’m out of bread, so I guess this is okay for today. My dick cousin Mark would like this one.
