12 oz single. Hazy pale golden with a large ,tight,bubbly white head, good laceing. Loved the aroma of this one, the raspberries are really well highlighted and as i love the smell of raspberries thats enough for me. The raspberry isnt quite as pronounced in the taste, its rather subdued and in the background to the, wheaty,grassy flavours. Palate lets this one down, very watery. Too limp. Overall a mixed bag, but i suppose OK.

Draft sample at Cincy Brew Ha Ha 8/24 & 8/25. Pours a hazy golden color with a small off white head. The aroma is wheat grass with a faint amount of raspberry. The flavor is much of the same. Wheat grass with raspberry flavor. Light bodied. Barely approaching average.

Bottle. Poured a somewhat rosy amber with somewhat of a head. Not much in way of aroma, just some flowery malitiness. Fairly smooth mouthfeel at first with raspberries hidden in there somewhere. A good, easy to drink beer, but too light for me.

Aroma is light with a faint hint of raspberry. Color hazy gold with good carbonation and a lose head. Taste is light and clean. Starting with a light body it goes down easy with a crisp refreshing feel and a hint of berry comeing in. Finish is fresh with a very mild malt taste and a light berry flavor that has a tart feel on the very end. Iits a nice little summertime brew but its nothing special.

A very good beer for what it is. This is an excellent wheat beer with a nice fresh raspberry taste. Not too sweet, and not to snobby. This is a good drinkable warm weather beer. A score of 20 or below is very un just.

a difinite light purple haze. Aroma was scary at first. good flavor, probably the only thing i have ever liked with a raspberry in it. Seemed really weird at first, but it really grew on me. Nice change every once in a while.

Draught Cloudy straw pour with decent head. Raspberry flavor and aroma. Refreshing, but nothing I could do regularly. Good for the girlfriend.

poured into pint. pours a cloudy pale yellow with slight rasberry color. wheaty aroma, with mild fruity rasberry background. wheat thruought with rasberry, not overly impowering or sweet, but a rather good balance. a good compliment with food on an outside patio.
