When our love of fruit and our love of beer come together, Blushing Monk happens. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries for tart yet luscious raspberry-jam character and fermented with Belgian yeast for subtle fruit and spice esters. Think of Blushing Monk as Rubaeus’ older sibling – more intense, slightly larger and just a little bit more mature.

Rate 9/17/11: Poured a blood red color, with a dark pink foamy head. Aroma was raspberries, raspberries, raspberries. The fruit level in this one was almost at lambic levels. The alcohol is pretty well masked, but it’s probably just because the raspberry

Lõhnab magusalt ja vaarikaselt. Maitseb veel magusamalt, aga hapukust ja vaarika mõrudust on ka. Alko kangust on tunda, aga see on veits nagu Kasteel Rouge - et tänu marjasusele ja hapukusele saab andeks anda. Nats seebine ka, aga muidu täitsa iselibisev.

Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear blood, ruby red with a finger of off-white foam that dissipates to a ring. Raspberry cough syrup aromas dominate the nose with some peppery yeast phenols in the background. Lowish carbonation, with a syrupy, sticky cough syrup texture that 'gross' is really the only word I could think of. Boozy, thin and syrupy with a weird raspberry-like flavor at the end. This is not good...but I don't like rubaeus either.
