Founders Rübæus (2013)

have to say i'm digging this brew - nice change of pace from the saisons and IPAs i've been guzzling recently. at first sip i thought it might be a bit too sweet and one-dimensional, but the more i drank the more i took to it. definitely see this earning frequent revisits for the rest of the season.

 

This beer DREAMS of the day it is HALF the beer Cherise is and that was meh beer. God I want my money back!

 

I kinda hate you for both having enough kbs to do that and for wasting kbs with this crap beer in it. But I'm sure I"ve done worse...for example triple bock (no the bad year) in ice cream. Yes...it was the best thing ever. And yes I wish I could get more of it!

 

water>>>>>>>>>miller lite>>>>>>>Rubaeus >>> Cerise

I had to fix that for you

 

Maybe age helped? This rasberry shit is awful

 

I think I need scotch to make me feel like a man again after this....or heck a pixie stick or sex on the beach.

 

ok hoss, we get it. this one's not for you.

 

I mixed this with CCB Cubano Espresso.

Twas a great idea.

 

If you do not like raspberries or fruit beers, then this is not for you. I don't understand the overt hatred, though. For what it is supposed to be, it is a fairly good beer. I had one at night and thought it was okay, but liked it better a week later sitting out in the 95 degree heat. So, take it for what it is, a raspberry-heavy beer.

 

Has anyone seen this in northeastern MA? I'm in Lowell, and I have not been able to find it anywhere.

 

Its in CT Anconas Wines in Ridgefield and Wilton

 

Anconas Wines in Ridgefield or there other store in Wilton

 

You're kinda in the middle of the two places I know had/have it.

I bought some at Berts Better Beer in Hookset NH and I heard Redstones in Stoneham MA has some.

Edit: You may want to call Andover Liquors. They always have a pretty good selection of Founders beers. So it wouldn't surprise me if they had some.

 

That's what I call my wife, which is weird because she's from PA. Hiyo!!!

 

I love it. Mixed with Devil Dancer it is sublime! I call it a Devubeaus!

 

That just rolls right off the tongue.

 

Sugary. Fizzy. Raspberry. Those are the 3 things I got out of this beer. A little bit of a tart aftertaste (maybe a twinge). It lacks any depth. It was less fun to drink for me than a wine cooler.

I do think this would mix nicely with a (cheap) Gueuze however. I'd only use this as a mixer... and it's too damn expensive to use it as that.

 

Georgio's in Billerica just posted last night they got it in. Should be close enough to you.

 

GO CBS/Blushing Monk or go home!

 

It's finally starting to see the shelves here in VA. I hope that my store has it in today when I go by there after work. This may finally be the one beer my girlfriend can actually share with me.
