A raspberry fruit beer brewed in Belgium to a Kirkstall recipe. Brewed with ale yeast for a less tart, more rounded fruitiness than usual raspberry beers.

Keg at BrewDog Leicester. Brownish red and very cloudy with a pink spotty head and a fair bit of lacing. Fresh raspberry aroma, sharp and intense. Lovely but fairly one-dimensional. It has a nice sweet-tart interplay in the taste. There’s an initial trashy off-note that takes it down a notch but it disappears fairly quickly. Aftertaste is resplendent with raspberry. Nice.

On keg at Brewdog Edinburgh. Appearance - deep red smoothie look. Lovely lacy head. Nose - initially too much of a confectionery note. Yeasty earthy back note. Taste - definitely not confectionery bit rather packed with real fruit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - enjoyable.

Keg at the Waterloo Tap, 04/08/16. Maroon with a crimson cap. Nose is tangy raspberry, bitter sweet berry notes, straw, raspberry pips, grains. Taste comprises raspberry jam, toasted grains, straw, pink berry fizz. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok for style, not too sweet.

Keg @ Black Swan, Leeds. Deep cherry red with a frothy head. I have to agree with the guy that served it me. Very fruity, not s session ale, but a good pick-me-up after a lot of hoppy ales. Belgian in style but not quite up to continental standards.

Draft at Piccadilly Tap. Cloudy to murky purple color, scant head. Huge dusty raspberry aroma with a bit of black pepper. Taste is very sweet berries. Refreshing, good palate cleanser.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours murky red, pink tinged head. Big raspberry aroma and light sweetness. Taste is light sour, with bags more fruit. Creamy texture, light sour zingy finish. Nice.
