Commercial Description:
Our bourbon barrel-aged raspberry beer blends a strong Belgian-style golden ale with our malty Brown Bear to create a magical elixer.

(On tap) Hazy, dark brown with an orange hue and a small, off-white head. Lightly tart aroma. Medium body - you don’t sense 10% alcohol at all. Lightly tart brett-likke accents - where do they come from? Dry, lightly roasted accents. Very interesting really - reminds me mostly of a good Flemish Sour. 240307

Draft. Brown beer with a reddish tinge and an off-white head. Malt, oak, and a slight raspberry aroma. Oaky, malty, syrupy raspberry flavor. Medium body. LIngering syrupy finish. Muddled. Trying to do too much with this one.

Deep purple coloured body with a thin white head. Aroma of vinegar (unpleasant) and prunes, along with some light malt and caster sugar. Light-bodied; Strong raspberry flavour up front with a good sweetness and a decent body. Aftertaste is a bit more ’off’ with an odd alcoholic and funky taste to trail the actual taste. Overall, a decent fruit beer - one to try if you really like raspberries. I sampled this beer on draught at the brewpub on 28-February-2007.
