Raspberry Nimbus
Lakefront Brewery

Looking for all the world like a slightly cloudy, slightly viscous cherry Kool-Aid on the pour, I was concerned that it might be a repeat of the Más Agave Clásica - Prickly Pear debacle. Going for it was the faint smell of raspberry pastry with just the faintest hint of lime. The head was white, slight, and dissipated rapidly. Raspberry definitely hits up front, but not in a cloying way. Some bitter lime peel hidden in noticeable carbonation at the end gets rid of any ideas that this is a sweet concoction. The flavor stays consistent, though the lime comes out a bit more as I drink it. I'll finish it, but I probably won't get another.

 

Pours light red, with solid carbonation and a one finger head. Aroma is raspberry and lime. And...little surprise...taste follows as there is mild raspberry and a hint of lime. It is light bodied and, to be honest, somewhat empty of much else.
