Handcrafted at the tiny All Saints Brewery set in a time warp in Stamford using the old manually operated brewing equipment. Finest organically grown barley and wheat are used to create a complex ale which, having undergone primary and secondary fermentation with different yeasts and extended maturation, is taken to Samuel Smith’s small, independent British brewery at Tadcaster. There it is blended with pure organic cherry, strawberry, raspberry or apricot fruit juices and more organic beer to create fruit beers of considerable strength and flavour. The smooth distinctive character of the matured beer serves as the perfect counterpoint to the pure organic fruit juice.

Very good beer except for some slight hints of off qualities. Princeton’s in Aroma very rich true raspberry character except for a suggestion of cleaning agents. Same thing for flavor almost perfect but some slight hints of chemicals or something.

355ml bottle shared with Steinar at Angel Inn. Fading pink coloured head, dark red coloured body, near-clear. Spotty lacing down the glass. Raspberry skins on the nose. Taste of sweet raspberries, tutti frutti like, hints of almond. Sticky sweet ending. Drinkable, but not my kind of beer. (Leeds 04.07.2017).

Red with medium white head. Aroma is raspberry oak yoghurt marmelade. Taste is fruity sweet and slight honey notes with lots of sour raspberries and tasty marmelade. Nice fruity finish. Drinkable fresh and deep. Excellent.

Bottle from Keelham Farm Shop, Thornton. Deeper clear red with a thin head. The raspberry is light, slightly tangy, with a light sweetness in taste, and a light sourness in its aftertaste.

Bottle shared. BBF 04/2017. Deep red ruby amber, little white head. Nose is extremely sweet artificial cheap raspberry jam, low metallic qualities. Taste is low metallic, extremely sweet artificial raspberry jam, chemical, candy,.. massively sweet cheap jam & sugar body. For an extremely sweet fruit beer, this is actually pretty decent, huge candy & sweet jam but in a passable fashion.

Raspberry fruit beer… and when if it got warm I wouldnt drink much more. In memoriam Prince. Anyway…. Bottle at All Saints Brewery, Stamford. Reddish black-pudding brown with a tidy pinkish head. Less fruit in the aroma than I’d have expected. There is however a massive biscuity malty note with berry jam at best a side order and at worst an afterthought. The taste is raspberry-licious without being overpowering. Stodgy jammie dodger aftertaste. Pretty good if somewhat inconsequential.
