750 ml bottle into wine glass. Pours dark red color with a 1 finger fairly dense magenta colored head with great retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap hat lasts. Some light lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of huge fresh raspberries, and a bit of Belgian yeast. Very strong sweetness in the nose, with good strength as well. Taste of big raspberry sweetness with some Belgian yeast spiciness and a bit of breadiness and tartness as well. Some notes of tart raspberries linger on the finish for a bit with some spiciness from the yeast. Absolutely no alcohol noticed in the taste or finish. Medium carbonation and body. Very smooth an drinkable with a bit of a syrup-like mouthfeel. Overall just an outstanding fruit beer from Founder’s as expected. Extremely drinkable, and loaded with flavor without being too tart.

Overall, more delicious beer from Founders, as expected. I don't even think I have had a fruit beer before this, but it was very impressive stuff.
