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.

Instead of posting a photo of the beer, I chose to showcase the package it came in. What a ride! Thank you, KingofIan.

Very sweet and strong raspberry flavor. Not what I expect in a beer but I’m enjoying the raspberry soda.

Sweet and tart, pretty much wipes away the strong ale draw but at 9% really sneaky for how easy it is to drink.

Aroma of Belgian candi sugar and faint berries. The flavor features tart raspberry, as one would expect, but there is a generous amount of sweetness on the finish. Excellent overall and still the best fruit beer this side of Wisconsin.

Can’t believe this is from 2015. So smooth and delicious. Another well-crafted beer from the masters at Founders!! The CO2 has faded a bit but still drinkable for a 6 year old beer!

That's a lot of raspberry. Can't really taste the belgian flavors. Its great if you love raspberry. Otherwise kinda taste like cough syrup. But I don't hate it.

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.
