A: Hazy amber with very little head. Head retention is not that great, and no lace is left in the beer's wake.

S: Very sweet. Raspberry and vinous fruit aromas dominate the nose. A slight sourness in the background keeps the sweetness in check.

T: The fruit sweetness continues. Tart raspberries dominate. There's a slight bit of biscuit like malts to be had. Balance is provided by a sharp lemon tartness that dries the palate. Finishes with a very mild sourness.

M: The body is juicy with a high level of fine carbonation.

D: This beer was nice, but not great. The heavy use of fruit didn't do much for me. The beer went down easily enough, but it's not one I'd really want to revisit.
