I absolutely love this beer! It has the best carbonation (perfect small bubbles) excellent raspberry, smells great, it's got a red hue, the feel is crisp. One of my favorites, I liked it as much as Cantillon Rose' Gambrinus. I probably bought all of them off the shelf over time. I drove a 3 hours away to get it and was very happy to do it.

4.03/5  rDev -1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
Appearance: Deep red body, pink around the edges, crisp bubbles on pour with little to no foam

Smell: heavy cherry aroma, gushers, grape, raspberry

Taste: wonder fruit-forward taste of cherry, raspberry, and finally a beer from The Depot that has that wet wool/bretty taste that I crave from a beer of this style

Mouthfeel: low/mid body, with crisp carbonation, mild sour characteristics

Aftertaste: fruit flavor lingers and then dives into a more brett aftertaste, is pleasant without being dominating

Overall: Really surprised by this beer. Was skeptical after trying their Wild 49er which left me wondering how this beer would compare. I think this is a super drinkable beer that would be loved by fruit-forward lovers as well as those looking for something with sour characteristics without makingy our mouth pucker, as well as getting a nice introduction to Brett

Once they started carrying Depot's beers at Winco, it became a lot more reasonable to check their stuff out. Pours a color similar to diet cranberry juice. Minimal head, off white 1/5". The aroma kicked down a nice dry raspberry meets wine barrel kind of nose.

Taste continued to drape the senses in raspberry, the sourness of the beer was middle of the road. The body was probably your standard blonde ale. Raspberry character was neither overly acidic, sugary or dry. Really was some meet you in the middle vibe to it.

At only $14 for a 750 I made the jump. I think that is a good price for a beer of this quality. The body is nice and light to allow the raspberry to shine. Definitely one of the better Depot beers. Unless you count that year they were serving Sculpin IPA as their house ipa. Good times.

ad this on 2015-06-21 in Phoenix, AZ at their pub at the airport. On tap

Cloudy. Tastes like a rasberry popsicle that went sour. Tasty. My wife liked it.
