Corked bottle. Strong raspberry aroma. Initial roasted malt challenged by raspberries. fairly dry. Hint of vanilla. Questionable balance. Hint of alcohol. Still a nice beer.

A purple raspberry jam beverage with a thin off white head. In aroma, loads of raspberry jam, light acidity, light mineral notes, nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with raspberry jam, light acidity, light mineral notes, light cloying sweetness, OK. On tap at Flashback Lounge.

Reminds me of Cascade. Typical American kettle sour. Nice raspberries which are my favourite. Tart. Acid. Dry. Good

4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey. Dark reddish with 1-2 fingers of light purple head. Aromas of raspberries mostly. Tastes of raspberries, malt. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Pretty simple, heavy on the fruit for those who prefer that type of fruit beer.

Bottle split at LKS Towers, thanks to Fergus, 05/05/15. Rich raspberry red with moderate crimson spotting. Nose is sweet raspberry syrup, red berry jam, sugars. Taste comprises raspberry jelly, red berry syrup, sweet blackcurrant. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, sweet close. So so, ok for style I guess, too sweet to drink in large doses.

Bottle shared at Leightons place. Clear deep purple pink coloured pour with a lasting loose pink head. Aroma is sweet raspberry, fresh raspberry, syrup, woody pips. Flavour is chalky mineral water profile, raspberry, bit thin, one dimension. Little tart finish. Palate is airy carbonation, mineral, chalky. Ok not great. Super dry in the finish.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Fergus for this juice boost. Pours an attractive clear bloody red with a pink foam head. Lots of juicy and jammy raspberry in the nose - little else. Medium sweet flavor, lightly tangy, with faint bitter raspberry seeds. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. More bitter seeds in the finish, slight tangy raspberry. Great nose but the flavor doesn’t follow on strongly enough.

The taste is sweet, juicy, sweet, candy, raspberry, blackberry, sugary, jam, some boost alcohol and candy with a short finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Looks good. A bit sweet and lacking in depth. Some boost.
