Appearance is great-- rosy orange. You can tell there's raspberry in it... a hint of pink. Aroma is slightly sour, high raspberry impact. Flavor is a lot less in-your-face than I expected, sour upfront with a perfect raspberry flavor throughout into the aftertaste. This is not a "sour", but I wish sours were all like this with just a tad more sour. Excellent body, medium astringency. Will get again!!

Canned August 3rd 2022..oops.

It pours a clearish amber with a finger of foam, lacing is very good.

It smells of raspberries, wheat, some sweet notes, some tart notes.

The taste is semi sweet raspberries, wheat, mild tartness. Pretty simple to my palate.

Medium bodied, good carbonation.

I wish that I had this fresher. I am a fan of raspberry beers.

Smell was nice and fruity but definitely more of a sour beer. Had soapy after taste. Definitely a one time and done.

Poured from a can. Reddish brown in color and hazy with a white head and lacing. Smells of bread and raspberry. Flavors of malt, bread and raspberries. Very smooth and the flavor is pretty good.

12 oz can with a 21 February 2022 canning date stamped on the bottom.

Appearance. Lightly hazy reddish-orange body with a very good off-white head.

This is a well balanced ale with hops, raspberries and some bready malts all evident and blending together quite well. Mildly bitter.

From old, undated notes. Poured from the bottle.

Extremely see-through red liquid; bright white foamy head. Strong lacing.

Raspberry nose; hints of chocolate malts. Intriguing.

Thin mouthfeel.

Raspberry flavor mixes with slight chocolate; as delicious as that sounds, it's a bit too watery to let the flavors really shine. A noble attempt, but a miss for me.

Was hoping for a prettier pink or red appearance, but I'll take light red and brown I guess. Carbonation seemed off from the lack of a head formation. Mild berry notes in the aroma.

Taste was kind of muted in terms of raspberry. A little bit of hops and malt. Not overly sweet. Not bad a few ounces at a time, but wouldn't want a full one or six to myself.
