Scuttlebutt Brewing Company "Raspberry Moeite"
1 Pint 6 fl. oz. brown glass bottle - seemingly without production codes or freshness dating although there is a light impression of what seems to be numbers on the upper left hand side of the label running perpendicular to the base of the bottle.
$5.99 @ Total Wine & More, Cherry Hill, NJ
Notes via stream of consciousness: I stuck my nose inside the glass as I was pouring it and there's a definite raspberry note to it. A full head of off-white foam came up, and the body is a hazy deep gold/amber/copper in color. Sniffing at it again I'm finding plenty of malt in there, and a bit of earthy and leafy hops. It reminds me of an English style raspberry ale. I'm thinking of a now defunct brewery out of Baltimore, MD. What was the name? It doesn't matter, and maybe I'll remember it later - on to the flavor! Well there's a lot more raspberry there than the beer - ah, I got it, it was Oxford Brewing Company - there's a lot more raspberry than the Oxford raspberry ale had, and the malt is sweeter as well. It's basically the same though in that it's sweetish with a bready malt and a straightforward raspberry note with just a light bit of tartness behind it. Then a moderate bitterness and some leafy and earthy hops balance it. This, however, is also bigger than that beer was. How strong is it? Oh my! 9% abv! That's probably close to twice what the beer I'm thinking of was, and it shows in its richness, but not in its strength. In the mouth it's medium bodied and dextrinous, leaning towards medium-full, and gently crisp. Overall it's quite pleasant, and a very good example of an American raspberry ale, although amped up in strength. I could enjoy more than one of these by itself, maybe even three, although I don't want to push it, and it could also work as a dessert beer either by itself or as an ingredient. Nicely done!

Moeite means "effort" or "trouble" so maybe the brewery's story is true. They say this started out as their Tripel 7 Belgian-style ale, but the a barrel-aging needed some help so they added raspberries.
In any case this pours a pinkish amber with just a slight bit of foam. Raspberry aroma and flavor are quite pronounced and I think it's fair to call this a Fruit Beer. Maybe there is some Belgian yeast in the mix but it's just a fairly sweet, cereal tasting, clean fruit bomb. And really quite delicious.
It seem unlikely that this is close to 9% as the Tripel is supposed to be. Maybe the "angel's share" evaporated some of the alcohol. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Sno-Isle Food Co-op in Everett.
