This beer is crafted by re-fermenting whole BC raspberries with a lightly hopped blonde ale to create a uniquely refreshing balance between tart and tasty. This light and refreshing ale is a great compliment to a hot summer day.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy amber red with a medium, foamy, short lived, pale pink head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, raspberry jam and light floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, raspberry and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter, slightly tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Pretty basic, but refreshing and crushable. Raspberry seemed authentic.

Nice brownish red body and good foam. Nice aroma of malt and raspberry sweetness but not too sweet. Flavour is a nice balance between chocolatet malt and sweet raspberry notes. A little thin on the mouth. Probably a crowd pleaser but not a world beater.

Draught at The Portside, Vancouver
Hazy amber color with red hue; large compact head. Aroma of berries, strawberries, jam, pie. Smooth mouthfeel, more beer flavor than fruits luckily, although for this kind of beer the bitterness is maybe too much. White sugar taste too.

Poured from 568mL can. Clear, red with off-white pinkish head. Aroma of raspberries and bready malt. Same flavour. Light body. Little finish. At least tastes like real raspberries as opposed to syrup.

568ml Can, brought back from Canada, thanks H&T! Hazy pinkish amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of raspberries and grain, wheat, slightly tart. Flavour is just light-tart, raspberries, wheat, yeast, light-bitter finish. Light-bodied. OK.

650 ml bottle. Pours a ruby red with light white head. Aromas of preserved raspberries and malts. Flavors of watery raspberry juice and bitter hops. A bit off balance. Maybe needs some ice.
