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.

Reminds me of Rubeus Ale with more Raspberry flavor.

A good raspberry quad that belies the potent 9.5% payload. Enjoy, but be wary of how potent it is

With a little age on this, it's a great beer. Raspberry is prominent but not overpowering. Good belgian candi sweetness. Very good. Might buy some more to age soon

One of my all time favorites! Can’t believe I found it just in time for Christmas! Love the raspberry flavor and none of the boozy flavor which makes it dangerous.

Raspberry city with a belgiany touch. Sweet, slight tartness, berry-driven. ABV hidden very well. Amazing brew. Thanks Chris O.

Smells like Framboise lambic, with less tart. Smooth raspberry

Continuing my Founders quest to check them all in. This one is really good if fruit belgians are your thing.

Distinct sweet raspberry on the nose w. notes of lingonberry & redcurrant. Rich, sweet & bit tart raspberry w. hint of cherries. Thick, syrupy, balanced & warm. 8-3-8-4-15

How have I not checked into this before? Cellared for 1 year, even though it's only has a 1 year shelf life. Still tastes absolutely wonderful. Great Xmas beer.

Perfect amount of raspberry flavor and doesn't taste boozy even with over 9% ABV. One of the best fruit beers I've had.
