Treat yourself to a rare delight. The voluminous raspberry bouquet will greet you long before your lips touch your glass. Serve this Wisconsin framboise very cold in a champagne flute. Then hold your glass to a light and enjoy the jewei-like sparkle of a very special ale.
Oregon proudly shares their harvest of mouth watering berries which we ferment spontaneously in large oak vats.
Then we employ Wisconsin farmed wheat and year old Hallertau hops to round out this extravaganza of flavor.
Life's too short to wait for dessert. Enjoy!

[1] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/7/2010 11:07:22 AM)
"Pours a reddish mahogany that is barely translucent, and has a minimal head, which may be an artifact of how it was poured. Raspberry dominates the rich and sweet aroma. Flavor is mainly raspberry, fairly sweet and slightly sour, more like a raspberry liqueur than a beer but still tasty. Texture is tingly, fizzy and edgy so it fairly dances on the tongue."

[2] Review by caddylac from OP, KS, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (12/31/2009 10:48:44 PM)
"Poured from a bottle to a deep raspberry red color with no head to speak of. The aroma was sharp sweet raspberry fruit. The taste had this deep sweet with fizz on the tongue then the sour raspberry flavor comes in. To me it's just a wonderful balance of sweet and sour and is probably one of the only raspberry beers that I can drink. It's just a great fruit beer, simple as that! Thanks to Pfoxyjohn for this bottle!"

[3] Review by kinger from USA who has tried this beer once. (10/28/2009 6:41:17 PM)
"Ruby red body with a small filmy head and little to no lacing. Tons of real raspberry aroma, granted it's fairly one dimensional but it's done really well. Easy going, mildly tart and sweet. A refreshing and spritzy body. Some biscuit is picked up on the flavor, but it's primarily a showcase for the wonderfully fermented raspberry taste. Fresh, lively and tart with a nice sweetness. Top shelf fruit beer, I would love this on hand all year long."

[4] Review by jerrymorrison from lockhart, TX, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/24/2009 10:15:33 PM)
"Courtesy of pfoxyjohn. Aroma of, you guessed it raspberries, it poured a very reddish- amber body with a thin fizzy head. Mouthfeel was crisp and refreshing, with a clean, plesent finish. Flavor was of raspberries, but thankfully, it wasnt overly sweet, had a little tart bite, and had a slightly noticeable malt base in the end. Overall it was a fine example of a fruit beer, too many of these cross the line between beer and wine cooler, but this one didnt. Thanks to New Glarus and John."

[5] Review by jlozier from Lone Pine, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/28/2009 7:17:40 PM)
"Courtesy of Pfoxyjohn. This is a damn good beer. The fizzy pinkish head disappears very quickly. Deep Purple color. Rich Raspberry flavor and aroma. Very one-dimensional, as expected, but delicious. Due to just how sweet this is, makes it a great beer to share; I would have had a hard time finishing this by myself. Thanks John!"
