What Our Editors Thought

“Deep raspberry aroma, pure berry. Sweet and jammy in the sip—a touch too sweet—at the expense of the deeper fermentation character. More crowd-pleasing dessert beer than studious masterwork.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Sweet, plump, jammy raspberry notes are assertive, almost veering into ripe tomato. Flavor is quite sweet and jammy; a light tartness isn’t enough to balance it. Finishes slightly dry.”

What the Brewers Say

“Mixed-culture farmhouse with raspberries.”
