While home at Chez Woody in self-quarantine, I have been making a concerted effort to really clear out some of the backlog, especially the Bottle (!) Backlog. These last several have been bombers that were purchased & simply set aside in covered cardboard box. 8=( That is part of my downfall - bottled beers in cardboard boxes & CANs in cardboard 6-pack carriers: I can't see what I've got & so - out of sight, out of mind begins to apply. After three consecutive Pumpkin Beers (by design), I am ready for a beer!
From the Bottle: "Brewed and Bottled by Naked Brewing Company, Huntington Valley, PA 19006".
I was becoming more & more anxious as delved deeper into this brewery's backlog. I Pop!ped the cap & got some immediate foaming coming up through the neck, although not gushing. Fair dinkum. I went to an emergency C-Line pour, getting it going just enough to get things under control. It actually did not take long as it seemed to simply be an initial release of pressure that caused the foaming. I wound up with two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, tawny head with decent retention that left some nice lacing in its wake. Color was Coppery-Brown (SRM = > 17, < 22) with NE-quality clarity. Nose had a fruitiness to it like red raspberries & I was reminded of the early days of brewpubs and microbrews. Back then, an Amber/Red Ale was fairly common & they were usually lightly-hopped & malt-driven. This smelled like one of them. Again, no problem. Mouthfeel was medium. The taste was not precisely raspberry, but very close. It was raspberry, plus something & what that might be was not coming to me. I almost wanted to say a raspberry-chocolate truffle, but it wasn't exactly chocolaty, either. Dang it! The upshot was that it was fine. It was eminently drinkable throughout. Finish was only semi-sweet, again getting back to the whole raspberry thing. It might have been malt-driven, but it was not totally sweet. It's a real puzzle & since it has been retired, it will probably remain a mystery. YMMV.

Copper body, a slightly used penny, medium clarity, topped by four fingers of level off-white foam. Gets murky as it sits.
Bready aroma with notes of caramel.
Extremely sweet beginning. Cheap sweetness, lack of depth. Hint of a sour twang. Gets a bit balanced at the swallow, but not enough.
Wimpy mouthfeel.
Not a good first impression. Might try something else from them, but won't rush.

On-tap at the Hulmeville Inn
Pours an amber color with an eggshell colored heading that disappears just as fast as it arrived. Turns completely flat after a few minutes.
Heavy malts with a darker fruity aroma , plum, raisin, etc. Some medicinal hops do make an appearence but are simply overshadowed.
Taste is very yeasty... Just seems to immature yeast or something. Big malt mess with little to no hop presence at all. Heavy diacetyl flavors.
No carbonation, very buttery slick finish. Very syrupy mouthfeel.
Don't know what the brewer was striving for here. A few tweaks and straighten out the carbonation problem. This could be a solid beer.
