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”.

bottle thanks to awiseman01, pours hazy orange with a medium white head. Aroma is raspberry and tart cherry. Flavor is grainy pal malts and semi-sweet and tart raspberry, not entirely my thing, but not terrible either.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a huge creamy pinkish white head that produced good lacing. The aroma was lightly tart and tangy with a vague berry presence. The flavor was tangy, sweetish and a bit nutty with a light presence of berries and a touch of vanilla. The finish was medium length tangy berry. Medium body but quite smooth. Solid.

(Bottle from K Supermarket Kamppi, Helsinki) Beer was copper coloured and clear. It’s head was small, fizzy and white. Aroma was a mixture of hops and raspberry which wasn’t really my thing. Carbonation was quite high and body was medium. Flavour was dominated by raspberry. It was also sweet, a little bit malty and lightly hoppy. Aftertaste was almost non-existent. The little bit that was there was raspberry. This combination did not work.
