Had this at Dvelcich's tasting on 07.31.10 - reviewed from notes. This was a great beer brought by a great Ba, thanks Oreo for sharing this one!

Pours a nice red/pinkish hued color. A pink-tinted white head dissipates quickly, leaving behind some spotty lacing.

Smell is huge on desert like raspberries. A giant amount of fresh raspberries and raspberry puree. Like a raspberry syrup you would put on ice cream-- very sugary. The taste starts out sweet and finishes even sweeter. Very nice raspberry flavor- real thick and sugary that is alledgedly 12%, but it hides it well! I could drink 2 bottles of this before I knew I was in trouble. Not a note of alcohol detectable.

Wow. This is really tasty. Very delicious, great flavor. This is like liquid raspberries with alcohol. Very nice feel with good carbonation and a body that falls just light of medium. The drinkability is insanely high. I would love to drink this whole bottom myself.
