Pours a really attractive deep red, dark pink color with a thin, pinkish head. Aroma is straight up raspberry. This beer is not trying to be anything other than raspberry. Fortunately the raspberry is done very well. a nice tart fruit flavor without being cloying or sweet. If you know what you’re getting into it’s enjoyable.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle: Heavy red tinted amber, fairly clear, moderate spritzy pink hued head, spotty lacing. Nice raspberry aroma. Reminds me of New Glarus, but not as over the top. Wow, quite the Raspberry flavor. Doesn’t seem artificial, its a little tart, a little sweet. This is not your average fake fizzy stuff. Very much like a softer version of New Glarus’ Raspberry Tart. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Has a bit of perfume like floralness on the backside. Enjoyed this one more than I thought.

Dec 6, 2009 Sampled on 12/6/2009. This fruit beer pours a dark reddish (raspberry) color from a 550ml bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is raspberry, malt and sweet. A medium bodied fruity beer. The malts are raspberry, fruity and semi-sweet. There is a touch of tartness here. Again there is some malt in the background, but the fruit flavor dominate. Nice carbonation. Good balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Nov 27, 2009 I visited Melbourn in Stamford back when it was independent of Samuel Smith, but I was reasonably pleased to see it picked up by Samuel Smith, if only because it offers the possibility of being more accessible. Say what you will, these can be very satisfying fruit beers. In this case, the raspberry notes are luscious and lingering, with the classic Melbourn smoothness in the palate (though there is some tingling carbonation, too) and a well balanced flavor profile. I had this with a chocolate truffle and it was an excellent way to finish the evening.

Nov 16, 2009 Sampled from a 550 ml brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant pink-fuchsia with a huge dark pink head. The aroma was musty, tart and fruity. The flavor was tart raspberry jam with notes of sugar and must. The finish was medium length berry. Fairly full bodied. Very one dimensional but quite pleasant. Good.

Nov 13, 2009 pour is dark translucent maroon. aroma is of pure delectable raspberry jam with twist of orange essence to boot. flavor is overpowering raspberry with any beer like elements stomped to death by a melee of fruit. palate is the star, while sticky an off note reminiscent nearly of raspberry seeds saves things to an extent.

Nov 6, 2009 Aroma is very strongly of raspberry - and I love raspberries! There are hints of malt and yeast. It pours clear and a color right on the border between dark copper and mahogany. Head is off-white and fairly thick. Flavor is malty with a firm overtone of raspberry, a little sweet and a little sour; finish is quite fruity-sweet. Texture is smooth and a little fizzy.
