Blushing Monk

Fruit Beer

Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more.

Beautiful beer. Just a touch too sweet to get a higher rating but awesome raspberry flavor

Was really hoping for more. Raspberry aroma and flavor, but fake tasting. No funk, not that sour, and way too sweet.

Not bad, the sweetness is a little overpowering and only a little Belgian funk.

This beer is very fruit forward with a prevelant raspberry flavor and despite being a higher abv doesn't show it in taste.

That’sa raspberry fruit beer alright. Sweet & fruity with a subtle Belgian blonde base. Malts & coriander spice on the finish. Tastes like it could be 5%, but at a sneaky 9.2% it’s incredibly smooth. Not my usual style but well done.

Just the right amount of raspberry to add tartness and cut the bitter.

Thought it was going to be too sweet with the boat load of raspberries but was wrong.

A risky buy that paid off. Loaded with raspberries, I thought this could be the “rosee” of beers...or off the charts fruity and sour. Was a bit sour but the Belgian ale and overall booziness saved it. Like drinking lightly sour port. Paired w hard cheese.
