On tap. Pours a clear orange/red with moderate head. Aromas of dry raspberries. Flavors of raspberry juice and a light Pilsner. Not getting the Berliner Weisse. Ok cooler...

Draft - Raspberry jam. Clear red with a decent white head. Soured raspberry with a nice jammy finish. Simple but well done.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a hazy bright reddish pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out fresh raspberries, with a somewhat artificial tinge, along with lacto and some acidity. Flavour is along the same lines, with lacto, fresh tart raspberries and light acidity. Very fruity but somewhat artificial tasting. Not a great fruited Berliner, but it's decent.

Draught at the brewery
Cloudy bright light red colour. Moderate aroma of raspberries, strong acidity, medium raspberry flavour, dry; the beer character disappears. Weak and short final.
What's the point of brewing a beer with raspberries if it only tastes like dry raspberry lemonade?
