Notes / Commercial Description:
Treat yourself to a rare delight. The voluminous raspberry bouquet will greet you long before your lips touch your glass. Serve this Wisconsin framboise very cold in a champagne flute. Then hold your glass to a light and enjoy the jewel-like sparkle of a very special ale.
Oregon proudly shares their harvest of mouth watering berries, which we ferment spontaneously in large oak vats. Then we employ Wisconsin farmed wheat and year old Hallertau hops to round out this extravaganza of flavor.

Beautiful deep red raspberry color with pinkish cap and lacing.
Scent of ripe raspberries that manages to smell both tart and sweet.
Taste just like it smells. I don't know if the word tart refers to the fruit or is a reference to pastry but the term works either way. I think, on the whole, dry tartness wins out over fruit sweetness but these rather simple flavors are well matched and mingled.
Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
Overall I think it's a very good example of a fruit flavored ale.

Very much on the sweet side, huge raspberry and berry notes on the nose and palate. Very light tartness, slightest drying sensation on finish. Amazing beer

A 1 pint 9 fl. oz. bottle with no bottled on or best before date (but I think 2017 designed labels). Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A cloudy deep dark grape red colour with a nice big three finger beige head that dissipated fairly quickly while leaving some sticky lacing.
Aroma: Tart, jammy, raspberry, mixed berry jello.
Taste: Sweet, tart, raspberry jam, raspberry jello with a touch of oak.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall: Great aromas, but tastes probably too sweet for me. The raspberry jammy and jello flavours were nice, but because of the over sweetness, this turned into just a sipper for me.

Pours a deep red (effectively opaque) with a pale, off-white head that recedes slowly. No lacing present. Nose is a sweet raspberry smell that overpowers all other aromas. On tasting, the sweetness is balanced out by the sourness of the raspberries. Mouthfeel is not as syrupy as expected and is more refreshing than a desert beer might be expected to be. Overall, a wonderful beer, balanced in sweetness and honest and refreshing in flavor.

Enjoyable. Especially after that terrible stout by NG. Here goes:
A: Very dark yet very clear. Pours a massive reddish-pink head with great lacing. Color is a deep red with a pink hue - exactly like a raspberry. Great.
S: Somewhat mild. Can still detect finer dark fruit, but these scents are too muted. What does reach the olfactory receptors is a tasty raspberry, however.
T: Raspberries, pomegranate, and plum. Aftertaste of cherries. The beer does everything right from a taste perspective. One of the finer, more complex lambics.
F: Perfect.
O: Great beer.
