This beer is a light bodied, easy drinking ale. We use real raspberries late in fermentation, giving this beer a mild fruit flavor while keeping a very balanced malt profile. This may not be what some would expect from a “fruit” beer, but our brewers make good beer; not fruity, carbonated malt beverages. Our motto is, “beer first, fruit second”.

Aus der Flasche am 2016-07 getrunken. Ein trübes helles Ale mit einer schönen Himbeernote. Die Himbeerkerne bringen eine Bitterkeit, die sehr stimmig ist und zu den Fruchtnoten passen. Lecker und süffig.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy golden orange color with a quickly dissipating head with some stringy lacing clinging and then spider webs nicely.
The smell was mainly sweet to bitter, slightly sour raspberry. A light sweet fresh grassiness entered in as it warmed. Light sweet caramel malts came in.
The taste was sweet raspberry and fresh grassy bittersweetness rolling into a sweet sticky raspberry aftertaste and semi-wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonated lightly and nicely.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good raspberry ale that I would have again.

Poured from 12 fl oz bottle. Cloudy golden yellow-orange with dissipating off-white head. Aroma has some raspberry and yeast. Taste same with some biscuity malt. Light-medium body. Finishes a little bit dry. Raspberry flavour is fairly muted, balance is okay. Middle of the road as far as raspberry ales go in my opinion.
