BJCP Style Info: Fruit Beer
Info: A harmonious marriage of fruit and beer. The key attributes of the underlying style will be different with the addition of fruit; do not expect the base beer to taste the same as the unadulterated version. Judge the beer based on the pleasantness and balance of the resulting combination.

The raspberries were added on day 7 and are assumed to be at 12B (range: 8-15B). This adds gravity points to the raw wort gravity, but does not contribute to the final wort gravity if fermented out.
