La Vie en Rose is a farmhouse ale re-fermented on the raspberries from Jester King Atrial Rubicite. The ratio of fruit to beer is very high for Atrial Rubicite (6 pounds per gallon), so La Vie en Rose has a lot of fruit character even though it's from the second re-fermentation of the raspberries. It's unfiltered, unpasteurized, and naturally conditioned.

Hazy pinkish beer, thin bubbly head soon fizzes away. Funky raspberry aroma. Flavour has lots of tart, punchy raspberry up front, a bread note, some dry herbs, floral and bittersweet and very nice example of the style.

On tap at Greenville Exchange with my wife. Jester King makes it a point to indicate the vintage, 2023, 5.7%. Rich, raspberry slurry, pale pink head. Raspberry confectionery, veggie, grassy nose. Twangy & jammy raspberry, well water, maraschino cherry, harsh lemon sourness, bittersweet, earthy & slight vinegar on the frothy finish. Thick, sharp, high acid, medium carb sizzle, touch of alcohol burn. My stomach feels funny. Good-ish.

On tap at Garden Path - Bellingham, pours a cloudy dark pinkish red with a huge pink-tinged white head. Aroma is wonderfully fragrant, with soft raspberries, farmhouse funk, wild yeast and a touch of oak. Flavour is tart and acidic, with sour raspberries, aggressive acidity and some wild yeast. A bit harsh and jagged but there is a nice wild character underneath the acidity. Good but flawed.
