Rubaeus

Rubaeus, Founders Brewing Company, Grand Rapids, MI
(Fruit Beer, Rated 95)

Not all fruit beers are equal. Some get the aromas right, but the flavor falls flat. Some are too sweet. Others are just not good at all. Founders' Rubaeus is on par with the very best fruit beers I have tasted and definitely one of my favorites. Pours a ruby, red hue with a light, fizzy, white head. The taste dances between sweet and tart in a fantastic, well-balanced way. Not too sweet. Not too tart. Flavors of fresh raspberries abound. Nice carbonation. This one is a Summer thirst quencher...a dessert beer for picnics.
