A refreshing, not so sweet, raspberry infused wheat beer. Great for those who enjoy fruit infused brew. Drink poolside in a thong bikini.

Flavor is fruity but more of a tart fruit instead of being sweet like other fruit beers.

if there is raspberries in this, i didnt taste it. aroma was citrusy and slightly floral. much more bitter than most wheat beers that mellows as the bottle warms. its ok, but there are better wheat beers out there.

On-tap at River Roost Bar- Port Orleans Riverside Resort, Walt Disney World. Light raspberry notes filling out a grainy, sour wheat body with notes of banana and bubblegum.

This beer was all the craze back in my college days. Really not much happening here, just an over carbonated fruit beer. Pleasant taste but thinness and aftertaste bring it down.
