2005 bomber from Tiggmtl, shared with OldGrowth on 3/5/06
Dark amber, raspberry-brown colored body is quite clear, with some tan-beige tones throughout and a dark beige-grey colored head that is large at first, but receding fairly rapidly to cover, with no lacing. High amount of carbonation visible.
Sweet, sticky raspberry jam notes crowd in the nose, while light buttery toast, minerals, and dry caramelized grains try to make a stand. Some dry, almost sharp-like, vanilla notes seem to add complexity, but it dosent really go anywhere, the raspberries stay rather tame and not overly authentic, while the malts are too dried out, the beer too filtered and lifeless.
The flavor is a lightly acidic mix of raspberry extract, coupled with brown bread, crusty and heavily dry. Some light caramel sugars add a light jab of depth, but it’s heavily fleeting. Very, very filtered, and very, very carbonated (forced), breaking up any semblance of comforting malt texture, though it does keep the raspberry syrup from becoming too overbearing, for the most part. Just not enough beer in it, and too filtered and carbonated to boot.

22oz bottle - Raspberry very apparent in the aroma, rapidly diminishing thin to moderate head. Palate seems a bit thin. Taste is mostly of roasted malts adn raspberry. It tastes pretty good, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

Tap @ The Yardhouse Pasadena, CA Raspberry nose. Quite bron, low head. Earthy and bandaid notes on top of fruit, some nuts as well. Medium body, soft mouthfeel.

Not a bad fruit beer- poured a very deep, clear red-brown with a thin light tan head. Raspberry syrup aroma with some toasty malt. The flavor reminded me of Brach’s chocolate-covered raspberry nougats, with plenty of raspberry flavor (which was pleasant) not quite balanced by toasty, chocolatey malts. Not bad, but where’s the beer?
