Smells of raspberry... little beer flavor. Moderate carbonation, aftertaste of raspberry-- the real plant, not a candy version. Good, just not very beer-like.

Pours a hazy honey gold with a small, mostly dissapating, white pinkish head. Nose is vaguely of fruit. Nice and creamy on the palate, taste is light, airy, raspberry. No hops apparent. Nice as a thirst quencher on a summer’s day with light snacks or picnic fare.

Slight aroma of raspberries is not too strong. Taste has some sweet raspberries, but mostly bitter and skunky. Finish was not so great.

pours out a pale slightly cloudy honey color. it produced a finger thick eggshell white head that fell at a slow rate. the head settled to a nice thin cap produced some thin lacing on the edges that were a little delicate. the aromas are fruity and yeasty with notes of hay and grain cereal. there is the noted raspberry in the nose with a winey citrus note. it is light bodied and it finishes crisp and light. its a little sandy across the tongue and bubbly. it is a little watery and has a light fruit taste that isnt balanced. an average wheat beer with some raspberry being more prevelent in the aftertaste.

Recommended if you like fruit beers, definitely steer clear if you don’t. Light, refreshing wheat and raspberry flavors. Easy to drink and generally a crowd pleaser.

Good tasting fruit beer if that is your thing. Aroma of raspberries is not too strong. Cloudy, light-orange color. Strong raspberry taste with a slight alcohol taste. Carbonation is present in taste.

Bottle. A hazy light amber color body with a small frothy off white head , leaving little lacing , medium carbonation . Aroma is slightyl malty with light notes of raspberry and a hint of straw . Flavor is quite subtle , mostly sweet with a light berry flavor , a little wheat tang , no bitterness , a berry finish , light body with a watery mouthfeel . Quite sessionable but lacks any real flavor or aroma that I am looking for , a fun try though .
