Crimsonberry Ale is made by brewing a lightly-hopped, full-bodied, wheat beer and flavoring it with natural cranberry, raspberry and blueberry flavorings for a great fruit sensation. We start with a wheat beer in part because wheat lends a tart, fruity character of its own that meshes well with the fruit flavors. The mix of fruits has been adjusted over the years to provide a great balance of fruit character. (O.G. -15.4P/1062. Hops - 19 IBUs)

A favorite of mine. Seasonal, usually in the fall.
Fruit beer poured in a tall pilsner glass. Nice head, redish color body that kept throughout.
The fruity name is a bit scary at first, but it's not like the Lindeman's lambics. Hint of fruit at first and end, middle tastes malty, yet thin. A strange beer to describe to be sure, but if you can find it try one, or two...three.
Recommend having with appetizer at the brewery.
