Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is fairly fruity with quite a bit of raspberry notes. Lighter notes of melon, apple, pear, and citrus with light grain notes. Hints of alcohol. Pours a murky, pale, reddish-purple with a medium large, thick, pillowy, pink head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light acidity and light grain notes. Low bitterness and hints of alcohol. Moderate raspberry notes with balanced Koji notes of melon, apple, pear and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid beer. Raspberry adds some nice fruit complexity to the Koji notes without overwhelming the base beer.
