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.

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.
