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.

A fermented beer that is sweet yet tart. Definitely taste the berries and leaves an aftertaste that isn't for me.

So so so good. Big natural raspberry taste mixed with a natural Belgian yeast (much like a Belgian blonde or maybe even a tripel). So good!

Nice cherry flavours, decent tartness. Difficult to believe this is over 9%, alcohol well hidden. Then again, what's the sense to brew that strong kriek style beer? What extra high alcohol percent brings compared to normal belgian kriek 4-6%?

A very cherry beer with a good, lighter, Belgian ale palate. Reminds me very much of the Three Philosophers from Ommegang but less alcohol tasting and sweeter than I remember that being.

First the raspberry, then a more generalized fruity aroma. In the mouth, sweetness followed by tartness and then spices. Quite interesting. Not my normal, but it is occasionally nice to go elsewhere.

Tart raspberry tootsie pop, lightly jammy, hint of oxidation starting but overall doing extremely well considering the age.

Framboosfruitig met een typerend zuurtje. Licht zoet en licht astrigent. Bittertje in de afdronk.

Belgian fruited sour, but then Founders style and quality! Brimming with pure raspberry, delicate and soft tartness, and although Belgian yeast is used, not yeasty at all.
