Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer is a hazy, opaque, ruby tinted caramel coloring, with a halo of off-white head. Nose of tart raspberry forward, with highlights of marachino cherry tart and sweet, on a toasted backbone. Flavors are syrupy sweet forward, overly tart renditions of cherry and raspberry, but ultimately coming off syrupy, with no substance or balance to back it up. Light, slick bodied, with an almost astringent character leading into the fruity, syrupy aftertaste. The finish is slick, sharp, and cloying. Meh.

Not great. Very muddled. Pours a very odd color. Fruity cherry aroma but it's hard to distinguish the different fruit flavors. Makes for a weak fruit ale.

This was poured into a becher pint glass. The appearance was a rustic brown color with a slowly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head. Light lacing. I see the seeds in this, so yes, well, we know that’s authentic raspberry in this. The aroma leans red raspberry first and then opens up on into some light sweetness. Ends up balancing very nicely between the tart and the sweet. The flavor balances very nicely between some caramel malts playing underneath on the fruity aromas. Semi-sticky fruity aftertaste leading into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable smooth crisp sweet feel hitting my tongue appropriately. Carbonation is barely there. Overall, this was a nicely done fruit beer taking the cherry and the red raspberry over a light malt base.

The color is a ruby to amber appearance that has a haze to it. There is not much of a head at all and it is carbonated to the look and taste. The aroma is superb, clean, fresh. The taste, though highly carbonated splashes an initial taste of raspberry with some bitterness. The aftertaste is clean with an occasional hint of cherry leaving you wanting for more. There is no medicine taste as some cherry beers have that give this a high mark. The beverage is crisp, goes down easy and a wonderful compliment to a summer time fire by the lake or stream.

Copper color with a ripcurl shaped swirl of foam on top. Smells like raspberry ginger seltzer and Sam Adam's cherry wheat. Toasted grain in there too. Raspberry flavor with cherry tartness and not overwhelming cough syrup. I don't hate it.
