The persistent, rocky, dusty pink head throws off a huge tart raspberry & strawberry fruity aroma with just a touch of raisin and fig. The brilliantly clear, bright red body with garnet highlights is dominated by a blend of freshly-harvested sweet strawberries, sour tart raspberries laced together with a thin thread of dark cherry. Though the fruity sweetness and tart sourness balance each other through the flavor, the finish is overly sweet and lingering. The fruity sweetness combined with a light body and light carbonation make this an excellent dessert beer, especially when paired with a rich cheesecake or big scoop of vanilla ice cream, though it is a bit too sweet.
