Aroma: Sweet and a very tart taste. Smells literally like raspberries. Mellow, but maintains a rich underlying sweetness.
Taste: To the palate, it resembles grape-juice, choked full with concentrate and fruitiness resembling blueberries/raspberries and plums. Smooth and tart. The fruity sourness seems to mask the high ABV quite efficiently. Nevertheless, one can still begin to feel the effects after several minutes of sipping. Scott noted it tasted like a raspberry blow pop. Low attenuation, high sweet/tartness.
Mouthfeel: Sweet and very soft feeling, the body is quite light with a micro-bubbled zing that tinges the tongue exposing more of a soured fruitiness. Finishes rather dry but clean, perhaps contributed to some tannins.
Overall Impression: An extremely sweet beer that resembles almost a framboise, but I'm guessing there are some regulations about doing that. I figure this beer would be a great beer for introducing women to new beer.
87/100
