Poured out red brown. 30°SRM.
Nose is sour and wheaty.
Mouthfeel is juicy. Palate has sweet malt at the end. Remainder of the palate is juicy and fruity. Duh?!
Draft at CBC Boston 2016 with Andrew and Brendan; listed as "Double Raspberry Rye." Pours a deep murky body with huge off white head. Nose is raspberry peanut butter sandwich from mom. Mouthfeel is much more tart and assertive with sour raspberries on the palate.

Pours dark Red. Small white head’ smell is Rich , thick. Raspberry jam. Taste is Sharp, sour, raspbery jam. very dry ending . Bit sugary.
330 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 6/17/2015. Pours fairly crystal clear deep ruby red/light brown color with a small dense off white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart/sour raspberry, lemon, lime, orange, green apple, pear, red grape, wheat, spicy rye bread, light pepper, hay, straw, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate rye/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/sour raspberry, lemon, lime, orange, green apple, pear, red grape, wheat, spicy rye bread, light pepper, hay, straw, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate fruity/acidic tart/sourness and light spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of sour raspberry, lemon, lime, orange, green apple, pear, red grape, wheat, spicy rye bread, hay, straw, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate rye/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/sourness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from acidity as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately acidic, and lightly grainy/bready/creamy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a great fruited Berliner weisse. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate rye/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the moderate acidity. A very enjoyable offering.
On tap at the CBF. Listed as ’Double Raspberry Rye’. Poured a deeper mahogany color with a tannish head. Some reddish / pinkish tint to it. Yeah, raspberries and berries in there, some jammy, and a tart finish.
On keg at Ushers bar. Pours clear brown/red. Nose of raspberry, sour cherries, malts, rye. Taste is super tart, toffee, red fruit, more rye.
Bottle from Hops & Crafts Exeter, pours almost clear red like red grape juice with a small off white,pinkish head. Aroma of tart raspberry,,stewed berries & maybe rye cracker,taste is sharp & sour raspberry ,with stewed berries & some biscuit & ryecracker. Mouth puckering & light bodied,the finish is tart with more raspberry,biscuit ,rye & a growing dryness . Another well made beer from Buxton!
Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal, aug-16: dyp og klar rubinrød med ok skum. Ingen tvil hverken i aroma eller smak om at de har vært generøse i bruken av bringebær (100 g/l)! Og det uten at den blir kleimete - den er sursyrlig, frisk, slank og lettdrikkelig.
From bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 29.08.16. Red colour. Hints of pink in uneven head. Aroma of red berries, malt, tobacco and gooseberries. Similar taste, with even more tobacco.

Draft at Bru Craft. Unusual opaque red magenta brown pour with pink/beige foam. Points of lace. Thick body. Lots of raspberry flavor balanced with some dark cocoa malts. Modestly tangy sour. Additional notes of plum, chocolate, lemon and sour cherry. Not overly complex but well structured.
Tap @ In De Wildeman, small sample, thanks Susette! Blackboard says brett aged, but I didn’t get any of that (fortunately) Reddish brown color. Aroma is full on raspberry, a little sour. Retronasal raspberry, sourish, a bit dry, slightly woody.
Flavor is mild sour, fruity. Light bodied. Pretty nice.
Bottle, 330 ml, from Ščurk, shared with JFK10000. Murky brown, small beige head. Lots of raspberries in aroma. Citric, sourish, berries. Easy to drink. Light to medium bodied.
Bottle. Reddish beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is slightly sour, and the flavour is quite deeply sour with a red fruit feel and a touch of yeastiness. Overall too much of a sour affair for my liking.
Bottle at home, bottled 6/5/15. Reddish amber colour, beige lacing head. Some green apple soreness, medium tard, sweet and fresh raspberries, creamy oat and wheat, base ale is nicely present. Quite a lingering aftertaste considering the low abv. Lively carbonation, medium body.
