Entered this beer in the Topsfield Fair competition Summer 2007 and won in the "Fruit Beer Category". Great taste.....great Summer-Early Fall beer. Raspberry flavor comes thru, and than the hint of the fresh ginger grabs you at the end.
Mine didn't turn out so good...

Brewed this back in December, following the recipe to a T. The raspberries kicked up a pretty good fermentation in the secondary and really dried out this beer. I've had it mellowing in bottles for 6 weeks but it's still REALLY tart. Might have to dump. What did I do wrong?
