Beautiful reddish pink body with six fingers of Pepto-Bismol pink head.

Smells of raspberries and cherries.

The taste is of raspberries and is very smooth only slightly sour.

Great feel to it, I keep drinking this.

Pours a murky light red, slightly darker than the color of a mostly pink raspberry. Makes a thin 1/4" off white, lighter pink head, not much for retention. Aroma was more raspberry and wheat sourness than it was coffee, this is not a coffee bomb.

Taste is similar to the raspberry ich bin berliner series for Mikkeller, but with a light coffee intrusion. Could actually be the same base beer. Certainly more of a summer beer. The raspberry doesn't quite have that same drying effect on the mouthfeel that it does in many other examples. Perhaps the coffee takes away from that drying effect, but its not like it compromises the beer. While it made me kind of wonder reading the label (coffee & raspberry? wtf is that?) I think it makes for a decent beer. Its not going to make me forget about Hottenroth anytime soon, but its a serviceable little beer that stays within style guidelines until the coffee comes in, which is relatively sparingly used. The sourness is in the average range for style.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Pours pink with a faintly pink head that fades rather quickly; dribbles lacing

Smell: Faint raspberry with hints of coffee that get a bit stronger as the beer warms

Taste: Faint raspberry tones with just a hint of coffee emerging; that flavors disappear into the finish

Mouthfeel: Light body with low to moderate carbonation

Overall: Not much of anything out of this one; forgettable

Canned 6/1/20. Poured into a Teku at fridge temp. Orangy pink color with a short lived fizzy head. Smell is an earthy raspberry. Taste is light raspberry, and mildly tart. Thin feel, mild carbonation. Solid, and good for a warm summer day, but unspectacular.

Raspberry Blush is the definition of a "hint" beer. It is the faintest hint of coffee and raspberry. I almost put it in the category of lo-cal beer on its overall profile.
