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.

The raspberry flavor combined with how sweet it was made it feel almost like taking medicine. Was still enjoyable, but not what I traditionally seek out of a belgian ale. Especially for the sticker price.

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.

Drinking it to get rid of it, not because I especially enjoy it.

Vooral zoet en een iets chemische fruitsmaak.

What the fuck even is this beer? Do I hate it because it’s too sweet or do I genuinely appreciate its sweetness to allow the intense 9.4% strength to get the job done quickly? I’m at a loss here. Not a fan of sweet beers, but damn.

Years ago I would probably give this a five. however the fruit notes are super strong at first and then taper off to a weird chemical aftertaste. Wondering if real raspberries are used or concentrate. Both?

Donkerroze met een waas, kersen zuurtje, frambozen zoetje. Smaakt als een waterijsje.

Pas mon truc mais pas mauvais. C'est très fruité, groseilles, framboises, assez acide mais ça paraît très sucré en même temps. L'acool lui confère un côté chaleureux pas désagréable.

Yup, bordering on ridiculous. Treading close but still far enough away from Rubaeus for me to enjoy.

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