Founders Brewing Company Rübæus Fruit / Vegetable Beer at 5.7% ABV | 15 IBU (C$3.00 at Oak & Vine, 355 ml, packaged on 29-Apr-2018, acquired 25-May-2018, reviewed 1-Jun-2018)
Appearance: clear reddish amber with one fat finger of rocky pale pink head, excellent retention and well-defined lacing. (5/5) Aroma: sweet raspberry, wheat malt. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate tart, mild bitter. (7/10) Palate: light body, moderate-high carbonation, sweetish mildly tart finish. (3/5)
Pretty authentic raspberry on the nose and on the tongue, but I find it just a bit too sweet overall. Kind of like a Framboise, but a bit sweeter (although not as sweet as e.g. a Faro). Good, but too sweet to be really refreshing. (15/20)
