I felt betrayed when I tried this beer. Abita, although not a risk taker, usually produces solid malt beverages. This was so overwhemingly fruited up, I could not finish the bottle.

Aug 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of another friend at a tasting. Several fruit beers, eh? This bad boy looked really good on pour, cloudy muted gold color with a decent head that unfortunately dissipates quickly. Lighter raspberry aromas that are light upon taste and mour sour than sweet (Always a plus). Some wheaty malt characteristics that are very enjoyable. More refreshing and lighter bodied than the other offering I had, but less taste and character. A decent fruit beer that I’d drink again.

Aug 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with 2 finger off-white head. Nose is mainly sweet wheat with some raspberries in the background. Taste is malt and wheat with raspberries in the finish. Medium mouth feel. I’ve put off trying this beer as I thought it would be too sweet and fruity, but the raspberry flavor complement the taste rather than dominates. That being said, it’s still not that great but better than I thought it would be.

Aug 11, 2008 Not what I expected. Smooth, drinkable, refreshing, only slightly sweet with a hint of raspberry. Maybe a little too watery, but otherwise a good summer beer. Appearance is a cloudy gold - maybe a slight purple haze but tough to tell.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a hazy pale gold, no evidence of purple haze. Light aroma of raspberry. Flavor is dominated by raspberry with some wheat. An ok fruit beer I suppose, although I personally prefer my summer fruit beers with blueberries.

Jul 28, 2008 slightly hazy gold color with a small white head which fades quickly to a film. grainy, musty, woody aroma with the distinct aroma of artificial raspberries. flavor is the same... musty, earthy and tart seemingly fake raspberries with a dry finish. medium body with prickly high carbonation. strangely drinkable especially from the bottle and it pairs really well with plain m+ms.
