This Belgium influenced ale is created by re-fermenting loads of whole raspberries with a lightly hopped Blonde ale. The resulting beer has a refreshing raspberry flavour with a slightly tart finish.

Sweet crisp raspberry on the nose, good freshness. Nice copper body and okay head. Flavour is an okay balance of sugary raspberry and malt. Crisp mouthfeel. Okay, a little artificial, but workable.

On tap at Longwood Brewpub, pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out gentle raspberries notes, not much else. Flavour reveals faded raspberries, with little else. Light and watery. Leaves a lot to be desired.

Reddish-brown colour. Big fresh raspberry syrup nose with subtle malts. The berries are real, though, and this is very evident on the palate. Fresh, fruity, lively with light bready malt notes. Well-balanced and the freshness of the fruit flavour speaks for itself. Surprisingly good.
