On tap at Aces and Ales 2. Pours a clear amber red with a pink head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of rich raspberry backed by belgian yeast and sweet grains. Flavor starts with rich, slightly tart raspberries with a touch of Belgian yeast underlying.

A reddish burgundy ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, plenty of raspberry jam, light spices, curacao, and alcohol burn. In mouth, a rather sweet fruity raspberry malt with mineral notes, light alcohol, like the peaches, a bit disappointing. On tap at Aces and Ales tenaya.

Red color and light haze. I have to hand it to them for how well they hide the alcohol in this beer. Raspberry aroma and flavor, and it certainly tastes like real fruit rather than an artificial substitute. On the dry side.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass; Batch 2 bottled 3/20/2013. Pours fairly hazy reddish orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of tart raspberry, raspberry skin, pear, apple, clove, pepper, floral, candi sugar, bread, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with prominent raspberry presence and good balance of yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of raspberry, pear, apple, clove, pepper, candi sugar, light bubblegum, bread, floral, and yeast earthiness. Slight earthy fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of raspberry, pear, apple, light bubblegum, clove, pepper, candi sugar, floral, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of raspberry and yeast notes; with a nice yeast/malt flavor balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a crisp, smooth, and lightly syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice fruited Belgian golden ale. All around nice balance of fruit with fruity/spicy yeast and malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.
