A: Beautiful deep, red-purple. It clear with a fizzy, thick pink foam.
S: Raspberries and vanilla perfection.
T: The full raspberries fruit sweetness does a very fast fade, where the ripe off the vine fruit blast melts into . Never would guess the abv level. Medium mouthfeel but not cloying in any way, and a bit of carbonation intially.
O: This is a completely executed brew. Balance and sophistication. A pefect finish to a food pairing dinner.
Pours a deep purple that looks like a merlot. Head is purple like I have never seen before.
Aroma is huge in Raspberry with a bit of oak or vanilla hidden in it. Aroma is amazing. The raspberry aroma is amazing and strong and fresh.
Taste is unbelievably good. Starts sweet and light with a fresh raspberry flavor and works into a creamy dry raspberry finish.
Light to medium body with fine champagne like carbonation. Milky and smooth on the palate, with a bit of syrup type texture.
Amazing beer. The raspberry flavors are so fresh and inviting. This is a desert beer. I would love to share this beer with friends and family around the holidays. Try one or two or three!
