On tap at the brewpub. Clear red pour, pinkish white head. Looks nice.....
Aroma is tart, light sweetness, with an unsweetened jam tinge. Soft carb, soft mouthfeel. The finish tastes artificial, but its not overly sweet, so it was refreshing.

I love fruity beers, but not sure if something was wrong with this one. Started off nicely with a clear ruby-purple-red colour and a small white cap that had minimal lacing. Beautiful nose of cranberry-raspberry juices, more on the sweet side. This is where things go wrong. The taste is way too mild, like really watered-down. Not any of the sweetness found in the aromas. Just a tiny little bitterness found in cranberries and then, a tad of sourness. All, with too much water. Not finding any of the malt others have tasted (and usually found in most Mill Street beers). Too bad.

Beautiful dark amber color, with red hue, and with creamy head. Some caramel and raspberry aroma, like a fruity muffin. The mouthfeel is stylish, light caramel flavor and light raspberry; correct bitterness.
Correctly brewed, but rather simple.

Smells a liittle malty, some raspberry. Pours ruby clear, a little foam. Tastes sour and gets pretty foul. Tough to finish a pint. Another below average raspberry beer. On tap at no name bar.

A reddish copper ale with a thick light lacing moka head. In aroma, fresh raspberry jam over grassy malt. In mouth, a sweetish cloying raspberry soda, with light fruity acid points, light and watery. On tap at brewpub, August 7 2010.

Reddish-orange colour w/ a thick head. Deep raspberry syrup aroma. Somewhat lifeless on the palate, with raspberry syrup versus crackerlike malts. Probably too much hop dryness in the finish. Not objectionable, but certainly sub-par.
