Blushing Monk (2020)

Fruit Beer

When our love of fruit and our love of beer come together, Blushing Monk happens. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries for tart yet luscious raspberry-jam character and fermented with Belgian yeast for subtle fruit and spice esters. Think of Blushing Monk as Rubaeus’ older sibling – more intense, slightly larger and just a little bit more mature.

No brainer, this is a personal fave-I WILL seek it out every year. Tart initially, but BA pulls it back to sweet, and INSANELY quaffable at 9.2% Founders BA series are NOT to be missed-impo ALL winners!

They definitely improved this recipe. Used to taste cough syrupy, but now it's actual tart raspberry with the Belgian yeast backbone.

A very Belgian forward framboise compared to the other Blushing Monks, I feel it takes time to develop. As it is it is bready, with a raspberry fruit forwardness

Aroma: Raspberries and vanilla perfection Flavor: he full raspberries fruit sweetness does a very fast fade, where the ripe off the vine fruit blast. A surprisingly good fruit beer.

Huge, large, all encompassing raspberry flavor! So much so, it’s almost syrup.

This makes me blush and I'm not even a monk. This reminds me of the malt duck variety packs the we used to get in the 80's. Ahhhh, memories.

Catch up - not as good as I had hoped for as expectations and others’ reviews had me hyped. But overall quite drinkable, solid tang and fruitiness with undertones of floral flavors and Belgiany kick at the end
