Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours amber and turbid with suspended yeast throughout. It is topped with an inch of tan head that leaves decent lacing.
I am surprised by the dank and grassy hops smell I get. The fruit is pretty subtle.
The taste is different. The fruit is more noticeable right away. Strawberry seems to be more prevalent than the raspberry. Underlying notes of citrus and tropical fruit are there. There is a slight flavor of pine in the finish.
Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel
I think this is a real solid fruit IPA. Good strawberry flavor in beer is few and far between. I don't believe that I have had a strawberry IPA that has been executed this well. I figured the raspberry would dominate the strawberry flavor. I was wrong. I am pleased with this purchase. It is a very nice beer if you want a red berry IPA.

Pours a murky brownish red with a large slightly pink head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is fresh home made raspberry preserves. Flavor is raspberries and cream forward. Finishes with some mild hop bitterness. Feel is creamy and lightly carbonated. Overall not a fruit beer I'd revisit. Not sure I think it's really an IPA.

L: Hazy red under a 2.5" pinkish white cap with fair retention.
S: Raspberry and vanilla lead supported by light biscuit and citrus hops.
T: Raspberry and vanilla up front with some malt and hops. The hops and the raspberry don't quite get along.
F: creamy medium body and medium soft carbonation.
O: This beer is drinkable but the tannins from the raspberries do not quite get along with the hop bitterness.
