I absolutely love this beer. I used to drink it all the time. Now I can’t find it anymore. I’m sure it’s still around. Man I miss this stuff. Great raspberry flavor mixed in with wheat. Nice stuff! Hard to believe it’s actually brewed by Coors. They certainly got this one right!

I had this a long time ago and haven’t seen it since. As I recall it was very good, not nearly as sweet as, say, Lindemans Framboise. I’ll give it a provisional rating until I can find it again.

Drinkable, not a fruit beer drinker, but i always try them out. Nice fruity nose, good malt and hop presence, but not something I would drink as a rule.

This rating is from memory, but i remember i time when i drank plenty of it from the tap at Fitgers Brew House. Like a raspberry cream of wheat.... or something. It was a damn good beer.

This is a very interesting beer. Color is light amber. Aroma is very berry-like with a tad bit of spice. Taste like a raspberrycream wheat smoothie with a bite. One of the best from Blue Moon.

Color is hazy amber, with a decent white head about two fingers high and had patchy thick lace. Smell is faint raspberries, fresh and perhaps even real, didn't seem artificial. Very fresh, and I just happen to like raspberries, so kudos to Coor's if they're using real and fresh raspberries. Also has notes of sweet malt and vanilla. Taste is sharp, tart raspberry with a somewhat subdued malt backing. Has some mild hops in the finish and is slightly dry. The feel is smooth and clean but lacking in depth and any real character. Its not very creamy at all, felt more like a mild brown or mild amber. This isn't to bad but I'd rather have something else.

I’m not a big fruit beer fan, but as far as raspberry beers go this is the best I’ve tried. Smooth, creamy raspberry flavor and aroma. Not cloyingly sweet like some others I’ve tried. Attractive reddish/amber color. Very refreshing.
