May 3, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of HighGravity. Dark amber, creamy off white head. Aroma held light notes of raspberry seltzer and touches of citrus and wheat. Balanced raspberry and soft wheat flavors run from start to finish. Light bodied and thin, soft carbonation, fruity finish. Disappointed in this local showing...

May 2, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of HighGravity. Thanks, John! Pours a murky, peachy-orange color; off-white head with patchy lacing. Kind of a medicinal, fake-fruit aroma; some wheat husks and chemicals. Relaxed carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: fake red fruit juice, wheat, and a touch of sugar water; not very good stuff. Light finish: touch of wheat, and still medicinal; slightly dry.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a copper color with a tight head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is full of raspberries, wheat, and bread dough. Taste is very much like the smell somewhat doughy but filled with raspberries. Its light clean and refreshing... good for a nice hot day at the park or even a cookout.

Mar 16, 2008 Bottle: Light amber color with an almost reddish tinge. The head stands on it’s on right, clinging doggedly to the sides of my glass. The aroma is full and well presented, full of fresh berries. But that promise doesn’t live up to itself in the quaff. The berries are barely perceivable -- instead this comes across as a musty brew.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle at the brewery tour. There are a lot of raspberries in this one, and the beer is very smooth and easy to drink. There is also a hint of wheat in the taste and aroma. There isn’t much else to it though, and I was hoping for a bit more.

Feb 15, 2008 From bottle : Pours a hazy orange color, with a half finger of white fizzy head, that last a minute or so. Fairly high amount of carbonation. Nose is very sweet raspberrys with a hint of wheat. Taste is very carbonated, some sweetness, and ends very blandly with a tiny raspberry flavor. Medium body with a sticky feel, not all that impressive at all.

Jan 28, 2008 Did not particularly enjoy this one.Nice aroma of raspberries. flavor was tart and sour with no sweetness to balance it out. Big fan of CLipper City’s Heavy Seas collection, but could have done without this offering

Jan 2, 2008 12oz bottle poured in a tulip glass. CCORW pours orange colored with a very minimal head. It smells like raspberry bushes, including the green parts. There are some little "somethings" floating in my beer that I’m not certain are supposed to be there. Being the man I am though, I shall press on. The body is thin and carbonated just right for a fruit beer. The raspberry doesn’t come out as heavily in the taste as it does in the aroma. This is a good thing actually. This beer has the tarteness I would expect from raspberryies without the candy-like flavors that a lot of fruit beers have. And yet, somehow, they miss the target by a little in some undefinable way that lowers the overall score.
