Belgian-Style Tripel Ale Brewed with Raspberries
Sparkleberry is an American interpretation of a Belgian Tripel brewed with raspberries.
Slightly tart, dry and spicy, it was originally brewed for release at Kalamazoo Pride in 2013, the same year it won a Bronze Medal at the Great American Beer Festival.
It has returned every year since drawing incredible praise at other Pride events, beer festivals and at our Pub.
Sparkleberry is a celebration of diversity and first debuted in cans for wider distribution in June, 2018. Sparkle on.

On tap at Maduro. Pours a near clear amber with an off white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of raspberry with some sweet grains and a dry champagne note. Flavor starts with a light raspberry note with a strong grain and champagne

Sampled at GABF 2013. Pours a clear caramel amber with some white, foamy head. Nose is floral, rose petal, honey, breakfast cereal, berry. Flavor is very floral, rose water, berry, lemon, honey, melon. Fruity finish. Chick beer, but good.

GABF 2013. Pours a hazy orange appearance with a light tan head. Spritzy, raspberry, blackberry, lemon, honey aroma. Well carbonated. Juicy berry, raspberry, a bit spicy hoppy flavor. Super easy to drink. Fun beer.

Tap at Maduro pre-GTMW party 2013. Filtered copper-orange body, big foamy off-white head. Very mellow, delicate beer. Light cloudy raspberry Wit maybe, but has some interesting spicy yeast tones. Not unlike Rubeaus, with lots of real raspberry flavor. Comes off quite light to me after the BB 9000 I had before it. Clearly has some depth though. An OK beverage, but not such a phenomenal beer.

Sample at Eccentric. Pour is a reddish orange with a small head and aromas of fruit. Flavor is very fruity with a decent amount of booze to it.
