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.

Dark blush red appearance with a berry / fruity taste. I like it and would drink it again

I’m not 100% sure how to describe this. It’s unique and good to be sure but hard to articulate. I’ll try, a marriage of a fruit wine and beer? Very nice.

Great Belgian style ale. The raspberry flavor profile is surprising, yet complimentary.

Nice and fruity with the slightest bite that goes beyond tart at the end.

Had it years ago and wasn’t impressed, even tho Belgian and raspberries are two of my fave things. I think it’s been improved.

Bright raspberry on the nose. Sharp mouthfeel. Sweet raspberry jam on the front and mid palates. Slightly spicy esters on the back and finish. I’m a sucker for raspberry, so I was already going to love it, but this is terrific.

This is red as hell, tart, sweet, yet balanced for a huge ABV punch. Enough punch to make a monk blush, I guess?

I felt totally different drinking it this time. No medicine aftertaste. It was just wonderfully tart and fruity.
