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”.

4.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5
Bottled (K-Kamppi)
Hazy, even murky pinky-amber color, small off-white head. Light aroma of rasberry stones, also a bit grainy. Quite light body, watery palate. Rasberry (seed) flavor is in this is not like description says, "overpowering". It is pleasant but same time also very one-dimensional. Light maltyness with rasberry makes a refreshing beer, but not very exciting. Low acidity. At least slightly better brew than Sea Dog Raspberry Wheat Ale!

Bottle. Weak fruit aroma, more like soft drink than berries. Cloudy amber colour. Very small white head. The flavour has some raspberry. Distinct, but not sweet. Rough bitterness, but tolerable.
