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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I took the picture earlier but let it warm on the counter! It’s almost halftime of the Bucks game so I thought I better drink it. Sweet with an aroma and strong raspberry taste, somewhat tart in the finish. Pairs well with cheese they say, so....

It's probably a little bit overloaded with raspberries, which isn't bad though. Sweet, tart, syrupy. I'd prefer it less sweet and more tart.

Excellently balanced. Tastes much lighter than it actually is. Fruity like actual raspberries.

Sweet-tart raspberry at a high ABV level is Founders’ pitch here. Successful if slightly too sweet.

Is this beer? Smells like cranberry juice, and it’s actually good, but more like sangria. If you’re thirsty for a beer, not the choice, but if you want a nice ABV kick, very good.

Didn't expect it to be red. I smell the raspberries. Tastes VERY fruity. Can't even tell it's a Belgian style ale. Still very good.

Tart and sour raspberry initially followed by a sweet, soft landing. Smooth for the high abv.
