Preble - Raspberry

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark pink close to purple with a finger's worth of pink foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did some light sliding lace appeared
Aroma: sweet and tart red raspberries; light lactic tones; subtle vanilla
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sweet quality with a sly undertone of sour; finishes with the red raspberries and a touch of vanilla
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability to this; light smoothness but also some tartness slightly stinging the tongue - nothing offensive, just noticeable
Overall: pretty nicely done raspberry tart ale with just a pinch of sour in there and just a pinch of vanilla for balance; I'd come back to this one.

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is hazy red. Aroma and taste are rich sour raspberries, lactose acid and fruits. Nice sour finish.

Pours murky strawberry into a tulip. Pink head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Raspberry aromas. Tart with raspberry juice and crushed seeds upfront turning to dry lacto in the medium length finish.

Can from my father: pours reddish pink with pinkish white head. Aroma is lactic acid and raspberry. Taste is hefty raspeberry, fairly sweet, and somewhat acidic. Generally quite good. I do not mind that it is very much on the sweet side.

Taster pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is cloudy magenta with finger-width pinkish-white foamy head with good retention, no sparkle. Aroma is strong tart fruit but good sweet there for balance. Taste is similar to aroma--strong tart offset by strong sweet berries but just manages to find a balance. I almost want to give up on it as too tart but then the sweetness brings it back from the precipice. Mouthfeel is light bodied with thin, creamy, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, this has a steep climb as this is decidedly NOT my style. But, it avoids going over the top by finding decent balance--I don't love it but appreciate the hell out of it. Wouldn't want to marry it, but I'll flirt with it.

Draught at The Neighborhood, 12/1/18.
Moderately hazy, bright, raspberry juice red with a small, pink-tinged, off-white head that quickly recedes to nothing.
Smells soft and juicy with very little tartness/lactic character. Vanilla-like notes mix with red raspberry and plentiful sugar. Not syrupy or artificial and showing no alcohol or flaw. Wheat is very strong below and helps soften any potential edges/acidity, though there's not much of that to begin with, it seems.
In the mouth it's soft and wheat-heavy with biscuit, cereal, vanilla and cream-like notes and a mild tartness that picks up and gives just a touch of pucker on the very end in concert with the malic acid from the fruit. Lightly juicy but showing good attenuation and tight carbonation. Very simplistic, but clean and with real fruit flavor and low lactic acid, so in that case, simplistic is fine.

On draught at Little Tap House during the "HAPPY HOUR // feat. BeerAdvocate + Allagash Brewing Co." event on 09/21/2017. Hazy pinkish-purple color with a medium pinkish-white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Aroma of raspberry, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of tart raspberry, citrus, yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart with a berry and lemon aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

16 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions. Bright hazy, pink liquid with plenty of white bubbles. Aroma is sour wheat mixed with a lot of berries.

The flavor is of lemon juice, raspberries, sulphur, yogurt. The finish is very tart with a steady amount of berries. Pretty much what anybody would come to expect in the style.
