Drank from a 1 pint can purchased at New Park Brewing, West Hartford, CT
Canned on 12/11/19
Served in a Rastal Harmony stemless beer glass
The hazy, dark fuchsia colored body was topped by a fluffy, inch-tall, light pink crown that fell to a thick, resilient collar. A few streaks of lacing stuck along the glass.
The aroma was crisp and fruity but somewhat subdued. Dry, powdery yeasty notes were apparent initially. After the head died down, the yeastiness subsided and raspberry notes took over. Freshly puréed raspberry came to mind. Sweet and slightly tart. Touch of earthiness too. As the beer sat, subtle cranberry notes appeared, along with faint baking spices.
The flavor profile was similar to the nose. Raspberry was most noticeable. Nice interplay of jammy sweetness and crisp tartness. Cranberry notes were also detectable, but I probably would not have picked them out without prior knowledge of the beer’s ingredients. Some lemony tartness appeared in the center. More raspberry on the back end and the finish. Hint of lingering acidity.
The mouthfeel was fluffy and lighter bodied for the style. Crisp and sprightly on the palate. The liquid contained a larger bubbled, greater-than-average effervescence.
While the raspberry was quite noticeable in this Blender beer, the cherry, cranberry and cinnamon notes definitely got lost in the fray. Of all the Blender beers I have tried to date, this was one of the least impressive.
