    I had a St. Louis Framboise the other day and loved it. On the flipside, I was hoping Founders Rubaeus would be better than Cerise, and it is, but it still tastes like soda to me.

    I love New Glarus though the Serendipity was a tad too sweet for me. I really miss their Cherry Sour. Raspberry Tart is pretty good as well. And yes the Strawberry Ruhbarb was outstanding.

    I had Founders Rubaeus. I have a sweet tooth, in general, so I liked it.

    My next fruit beers to acquire and try are New Glarus offerings.

    I'm surprised to see so much Rubaeus love, although to each his own. I couldn't stomach it. Definitely a fan of the more sour & tart fruit beers over the sweet ones. As far as sweet goes, huge fan of Strawberry Rhubarb (more so than Serendipity). Haven't tried Belgian Red, hopefully it comes back. But I have a Raspberry Tart in the fridge also so I look forward to that. Other than that, I've always loved Fegley's Blueberry Belch on tap in the summer (never tried a bottle).

    Beyond this, there are many, many sour fruit beers which I love (even more so than any of the sweet ones mentioned above).
