Sly Fox Black Raspberry Reserve

Brewed by Sly Fox Brewhouse
Style: Fruit Beer
Royersford and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania USA

looks like crushed raspberries. smells like raspberries. tastes like raspberries. only thing is, i don’t like raspberries. if i did, this would be on point

Sun Ripened Raspberry. Heavy aroma of fruit pie. heavy fruit fizz. light bodied. doesn’t taste bad. too fizzy, not berryish enough.

A ruby red color with little head. A big rapsberry filled aroma with little else going on in that department. The flavor is the same with some raspberries but the fruit flavor isn’t overwhelming. A carbonated mouthfeel and a light body. Not much to this.

Clear, deep red with a small bubbly pink head. The aroma is sweet and tart with lots of raspberry and some caramel. The flavor is raspberries, fairly dry, seltzer and slightly metalic. Medium/light body with lively carbonation.

Pours an amber brown with a white head. Aroma is malts, and raspberry. Flavor is malty with some light raspberries.

Pours a murky dark mahogany ruby with a spotty, light pink head. Aroma has a big, fresh fruity raspberry character. Body starts a little thinner with an authentic, fresh ripe raspberry flavor and a touch of pale malt toward a drier finish with airy carbonation. An interesting raspberry beer, but a little thin.

Bottle: Black cherry in color, large fizzy pinkish head, dies quickly, no real lacing.   Artificial Raspberry like nose, somewhat candyish but yet not strong enough.   Fizzy on the tongue, somewhat unsweetened, dry, fleeting flavor that is very muted.   Seems more like flavored seltzer water to me.   Moderate body, spritz mouthfeel.   Finish is rather boring, lacks much flavor.   Nice label, rather boring beer.   Not offensive, just not much there for a Fruit Beer.   Thanks for the bottle Paul!

An ok beer. I didnt really notice that much of a raspberry flavor. I guess that a lb per gallon was not enough. Otherwise, it is sort of light tasting.
