Thanks to Jeff for this one. 750ml capped bottle into a Surly teku. Shared with schen9303.

Nose is straight raspberry puree. Dank, juicy and deep with a pronounced tart seediness. Its awesome! Beer opens supremely juicy and sweet. This is straight raspberry fruit juice. Almost cloying at times with a mellow seedy bitterness at the end. A little soy sauce and vinegar pucker at the finish. This is too intense for me. Medium bodied with low carbonation which just makes this one seem heavier than it really is.

I see what they're going for here but it misses the mark for me. Very one dimensional and a little over-the-top sweet.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a dark deep ruby garnet hue with a great two finger off white head that fades to leave great lacing.

S - Aromas of light generic saison notes, very very light seedy raspberries.

T - Taste is similar to the nose, very nice raspberries, bright and seedy until they fade into another syrupy mess.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, very syrupy.

O - Overall this was a nicely raspberry beer, but again it gets very syrupy towards the end. Super unfortunate.

Thanks to rudzud

Huge fluffy 2 finger pink head fades at a med pace, big messy lacing, clear dark cranberry mahogany beer.

Nose little sweet candy, tart fruit, little dried raspberry, mulberry, little fruit spice, faint saison spice, little apple skin, candied fruit, little jam, good but slightly muted.

Taste quite sweet, big jammy cherry, syrupy like, little chewy, stone raspberry jam, little syrup, tart, touch acidic, candied grape cranberry like. Finish bitter syrup, jammy fruit.

Mouth is med bod, little syrupy, decent carb.

Overall eh, started nice with raspberry and jammy fruit, but then bitter syrupy mess.

 

this is the raspberry version of their saison, its the newest, and i think most complete and delicious beer in this series right now. the raspberries give it almost as intense of a red color as the cherry does in that one, but there is a dried overall complexion to this, without sacrificing any of the piquant raspberry aroma or flavor, its incredibly summery, light, and fresh. the berries seem a little more delicate in here, like its more beer than juice, and the wheat malt does come through a bit more. the yeast also plays really well with the fruit, white wine notes with the berries is great, very summery. raspberry helps dry itself out in addition to the yeast, its quite tart, puckery even on the back end, a lot less residual sugar here than in the others. carbonation is still a step behind where it could be for the style, but its not lacking quite as much as the cherry. lighter in body too, maybe the acidity here lightens it up a bit. overall a really great raspberry beer, true to the fruit but also quite beery too. very drinkable and interesting, nice job here.

Saison with blackberries.

Raspberry color. Pink hued white head.

Nice sweet raspberry flavor, but I could go for some tartness. Same saison spice flavor as the others.

Medium bodied. Clean. Ends with a dry bland flavor, however.

Very fruity. Easy to drink. This one ranks 3rd out of the 3 fruited saisons for me.
