Lil' Brainless Raspberries
Epic Brewing Company

 

Poured from a 12 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Cloudy raspberry colored pour (I know, best I could do) with massive pink-tinged white head. Great lacing.

S: Raspberry juice... tart and fruity.

T/F: Mild sweet/tart fruit flavors... strong raspberry flavor, juicy/fruity. Not too sweet... not too tart... but an ooch too mild/thin. Very light bodied. Fizzy carbonation.

O: Simple... but tasty. An easy drinker that will be perfect for the better weather whenever it actually chooses to arrive. A little thin but enjoyable.

 

 

A beautiful dark red and translucent, small head
Smell is bready malt with raspberry, almost like jam and toast
Taste is very sweet of raspberries and the mouth feel is a bit flat
Overall this is a great beer to perhaps bring a chick, although I wouldn't drink them all day

 

 

 

 

Smooth raspberry flavor not heavy nice finish not sour or bitter

 

L: Slightly murky strawberry jam color, with a creamy white head that dissipates rather quickly and leaves very little lacing on the glass.

S: Raspberry fruit and jam and tartness.

T: Tart raspberry, that finishes with a bit of sweet raspberry. Very one note, it all seems to be raspberry.

F: Light body with a prickly carbonation

O: This isn't a bad beer, but it is very one note and there is not a lot of complexity.

Beautiful strawberry-red punch color, with a beautiful 2 finger bubble gum pink head. Very appealing.

Lots of fantastic raspberry aromas - mainly fresh raspberries, raspberry pop, and fruit wine. Slight seltzer/salt aroma.

The flavor starts out a little watery, but actually comes full force bringing all the elements of the nose into the mix. Raspberry soda, sangria, raspberry ice, and a faint malty, seltzer finish.

Feel is creamy, which is surprising, with quite a lot of water underneath it, with a some buzzing carbonation. Semi-dry finish.

Overall, a much nicer raspberry ale than other reviews would suggest. I like it a lot.

 

 

Ruby-amber body with white head that recedes to a nice film, little or no lacing. The beer smells rich with fruit jams, marmalades, and jellies, raspberrries the main ingredient. Tastes exceptionally sweet with raspberry as the main ingredient and a dry tart finish to make this very easily consumed.

 

Scored this in a can, poured it out, looked like a fruited wheat ale. Color looks like it about pinky amber, prolly was yellow then went into that color territory with the addition of raspberries. 1/4" off white head. Aroma, there are raspberries here for sure. They smell like raspberries. Not much else.

Taste is also raspberry. Might be a belgian yeast underneath this, its mostly just sweet raspberry you taste, the adjunct dominates every aspect of the beer, leaves you guessing in terms of the hop, malt and yeast characteristics of the beer. Do you like raspberry? Then you might be into this because it is what it is. So early AM disc golf in summer, sure. For me, after about 6 oz of the beer, it becomes kinda mundane. They tout dryness, but I dunno, more sweet than dry from my vantage point.

This was a pretty decent fruit beer, which is to say that it didn't overpower with sweetness or tartness. It's very light, though you wouldn't guess that from the dark red coloring. The brewery's description hints at a dry finish, which is necessary to avoid the sticky sweetness that some fruit beers have. Certainly the fuller, heavier version of this one will probably taste a lot different, but I liked this version more than I thought I would.
