Belgian-Style Ale Fermented with Pure Raspberries
Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more.

Keg at Brewdog Camden, London. A deep ruby red coloured pour with a medium pink/white head on top. Sweet, raspberry aroma. Tastes of raspberry, slightly yeasty, quite sweet and tart. All about the raspberries this one, not a huge fan of fruit beers but this was really good.

Ruby red with off-white head. Aroma of sweet raspberries, caramel and some cherries. Very artificial taste, almost like syrupy candy. Quite thin and extremely easy to drink. Way to sweet and simple for my taste, I could just as well drink some raspberry soda instead.

Bottle. Crimson body with a fizzy, pink head. Aroma of raspberries. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately acidic. Thin body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Everything plays second fiddle to the raspberry flavor and tartness — including the 9% alcohol. So, it’s raspberry juice with lots of well-disguised alcohol. One dimensional.
