Draft taproom. Pours orange with a soft white head. Aroma is berry, sweat, vanilla. Slightly sweet smelling. Flavor is tangy berry juice and orange peel, bitter/tart funk, light hay, light earth. Hmmm.

Yeasty berry nose. Cloudy salmon colored, thin head. Raspberry, fresh pressed linens. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Weird toast note, kind of artificial.

Cloudy salmon colored pour with a light pink head and good retention. Very good lacing. Sour fruit flavor followed by more sour fruit. Why? Pass! This is a Berliner Weisse, not a fruit beer.

Bottle from Harris Teeter, Hampstead, North Carolina. Raspberry-pink in colour with a thin head. Fruity ale with raspberry dominant. It’s slightly sour.

Tart raspberry and nothing but tart raspberry. So, you know, if you dig tart raspberry beer, go right ahead. I find it okay, a bit one-note and somewhat overbearing, but at least the fruits never grow sweet, and the El Dorados add a nice, if delicate, lemon-tinged hoppiness to the finish. Pretty pink color, pretty good beer.
