look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Pours a red raspberry hue with a pinkish head that slowly but steadily fizzes away; just a few patches of lacing

Smell: The raspberry is pronounced and complemented by funk, oak and a whiff of muscadine grape

Taste: The tart raspberry flavor powers forward, at the outset, with the sweeter element lurking beneath; muscadine grape complement, bringing some depth; the oak builds, with the swallow, with the funk adding complexity to the finish and aftertaste

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; puckery

Overall: Very impressed by this one; Fonta Flora does a nice job with raspberry fruit and the muscadine combination works very well
