Raison D'Être loosely translates from French to "Reason to Life". This is brewed with Belgian sugars and raisins using a Belgian style yeast.
There is very little aroma to this beer, just some hints of grain. The color is a light brown / mahogany that is very clear. The head pours medium and actively bubbles until it is gone leaving just a thin head of foam.
This is beer starts with a touch of sweetness, but drys out quickly. There is some malt grain flavor, and a little caramel and brown sugar taste. There is an aged beer, wine cellar earthiness flavor accenting the other flavors, similar to the J.W. Lees Harvest beers. There is a medium body and mouthfeel with plenty of carbonation. The finish is dry with the wine cellar taste.
I do not think very much of this beer. It's brewed with a plenty of sugars and a strong yeast resulting in light sweet flavors but a overall dry beer.
