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.

Very good fruit beer. Very raspberry in a good way and doesn't taste like a 9.2% ABV

Like a cross between frootwood and cerise and rubaeus. A bit too sweet for more than 1

As someone who generally dislikes fruit ales, this is pretty darn tasty! Deliciously balanced with the sweet/tart raspberry jam-like flavoring

Founders is my favorite brewing company right now they just keep making fire beers, wow. This one isn’t generally my style but I love how they keep a high ABV and make it like a strong American take on lambic beer. It tastes dank yah feel me?

A 4+, I'm really liking this, it tastes a bit like a rosè, some raspberry cheescake, mildly tart, and pretty sweet.

I remember having this beer a few years ago. This beer is as good now as it was then. Such a deep, deep raspberry flavor. An awesome beer

Better than I was expecting, but this isn’t beer to me. Very similar to Framboise Lambric. Would be very refreshing on a hot summer day.

Big fan of Rubaeus...like drinking fresh raspberries. This is basically an imperial version, a little less fruity, bigger, excellent.

This beer actually knocked my socks off. I was expecting another tart ale that wasn’t special but this nice, punchy Belgian with raspberries sent my taste buds for a ride. Holy Raspberries, Batman!

Too raspberry forward. If you want a fruity Belgian, not a bad choice.

Very fruity beer, almost to the point of making it one-note. Wished that there was more complexity. 🤷🏼‍♂️
