Jul 4, 2009 Cage and corked 750 bottle 24/11 Pours a deep purple with a fizzy deminishing light purple pinkish head. Very little lacing. Aroma is just about all Raspberry. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is sweet raspberry but not awful. Has a good tart kick. Mouthfeel is pretty good. This bottle was aged over a year so I think that helps. A dryish texture. A decent finish with a good aftertaste.

Apr 27, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Hopdog aged for about a year. After reading reviews on this one, decided to let it sit for a while and see if the tartness developed and give it a bit more dimension. Still a ton of carbonation upon opening...glad the sink was nearby! Pours a beet red with a puffy white head. Aroma is very nice and robust...very heavily focused on the raspberry with a bit of a sour feel. Flavor is tart, full of raspberry, but turns watery, and even near the end, developed a bit of a metallic flavor as it warmed. Palate was somewhat thin. Was hoping for a bit more out of this one myself...wonder if I would have enjoyed it more had I not been consciously comparing it to NG Rasp Tart...

Mar 11, 2009 Bottle split with Pwn3d. Pours dark red - blood body. Aroma of raspberries. Taste is same, with some ashtray aftertaste. Kind of unpleasant.

Mar 10, 2009 750ml bottle purchased from New Beer in NYC. Cork had some crust around the brim of the bottle.. which was worrisome. I wasn’t about to return it, popped open fine and beer was still bubbly. Fair play. Odd brew, smelt very nice - rich raspberries. Mouth was pretty bad, too juicy. Not much going on besides offensive rasp flavor. Very problematic, not good.

Mar 3, 2009 What a weird beer. The aroma was incredible fruity aroma, but then it tasted like junk. Got my hopes up so high for a random selection, then killed those hopes like a NYC school

Feb 18, 2009 Bottle. Aroma actually really nice, ripe, red and black raspberries and raspberry seeds, seeming like a poorer brother, but an admirable brother, of Raspberry Tart. Well that didn’t turn out to be the case in the mouth: papery, mildly sweet, soda-like character without much raspberry pizazz at all. Lifeless palate, hollow feeling, and increasingly medicinal throughout the glass. A bummer after the nose.

Feb 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dirty red with a thick light pink head. Aroma of raspberries, slightly juice-like. Flavor is sugary raspberries with a weak palate. Rather watery. Meh. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t very good either. Just bland really.

Feb 9, 2009 bottle- a nice tart raspberry aroma- but the flavor is so incredibly dry, it’s hard to drink much of this brew- champagne like. Fort by Dogfish Head is a much better example.
