A classic Belgian-style ale made with a wheat beer fermented a second time with a large quantity of whole raspberries. After aging, the beer is left crisp and tart with an intense fresh raspberry aroma and palate, along with a ruby-red colour and pink head.

"12oz draught
6.5% ABV
I tried this beer on August 1, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a deep semi-translucent red with a thick pink head. The aroma was raspberry with a malt hint. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour was sour raspberry, and a little grainy malt."

"This beer was hyped by friends before I tried it, and it failed to live up to the height. It's a nice dark red beer but the raspberry aroma is not that prevalent when compared to other raspberry items. The flavour had hints of raspberry as well, but again, I was expecting more"

"A beer very hard to score - Im not sure if Im being generous or unfair with this marking?! Certainly above your run of the mill fruit beer but either lacking or over-emphasizing a certain character. I loved the flavour and at 6+ it maintained a well balanced body; An absolutly gorgeous colour too! My complaint though, and something I just couldn't get past, is that it is very sweet and very reminiscent of a mead - only it isn't. And I found this to work very much against it! It felt like I was drinking a very poor quality braggot. It seemed it was imitating that taste and came out inferior. That might just be my opinion, but if you want a fruity, stronger drink, I would advise you go with mead. It just seems to me a superior choice for what it is. "
