we've got a gusher. Pour is a murky reddish orange with an off white thin head. Nose is heavy on raspberry purée, aspirin, and acetic acid. Strange muddled malt behind. The flavor is more fruity, raspberry heavy, lots of sweetness. It's not as acetic as one would think from the nose but still a fair burn in back. Odd dark malts resinate in back with light aspirin mid to back palate. A little grain on the back of the tongue, fair carbonation and burn in back.

Pours a little beige head. Color is a hazed ruby hued golden amber.

Aroma: Lots of raspberries and lemon acidity. Some cherry flavors. Oak. Sour and funky.

Taste: Way too much acidity here. Light cherry medicinal flavors. Lots of tart raspberries. Oak. Spice. Very sour and very funky.

Mouthfeel: Very sour and mouth puckering. Lighter bodied with a higher amount of carbonation. Ends dry.

Overall, a good smell, but the taste was too sour and acidic for me. Still, it was kind of enjoyable.

Bottle pour sampled at mrbubbler's tasting courtesy of mrbubbler himself.

Pours a murky honey orange with a tan head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of sour and tart raspberries and some funky aromas. Taste is pretty much the same with a nice tartness. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good sour that is much better than the peach version of this beer.

Poured on tap at the HopCat in Grand Rapids, MI during their Grand Rapids beer week 2012! Thank you HopCat! Poured into tulip.

A: Amber with a reddish hue. No head at all, no lacing to speak of. Slight bit of light getting through, no more than your typical glass of cranberry juice.

N: Straight sour raspberry. You can get a hint of the tartness through the nose as it arrives sharp and to the point. Nice jammy notes coming through. Bit of cedar or oak coming through possibly, some wood, and hints of vanilla.

T: Big hit of pedio, with super tart raspberry, some more of that vanilla sweet vanilla sensation.

M: The lack of carbonation is just fine for this winner. Puckering mouthfeel, nice and dry, crisp.

D and O: Ohhh I could only have one or two of these, but they are really delicious. This is the second time I've been able to sample this beer and both have been on tap, once at DH itself and now HopCat. What a treat, I will definitely be seeking this out in the future. Fun, flavorful, well crafted.

Thanks for sending me this one, Derek.

Pours red in color with a big light pink head. Intense raspberry smell to this one. There is quite a bit of vinegar, too, however. Maybe a touch of acetone. The fruit aroma is very good, but it is diminished a bit by the flaws. Some lemon and grass in there as well. The flavor is similarly raspberry-heavy, which I suppose is the point. A nice bite of vinegar and lactic acid which give this an assertive tartness. Some acetone is still present on the palate, however.
