Oakes (7032), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jun 27, 2008 Straw colour. Lots of raspberry syrup on the nose. Watery, with vile syrupiness. Bad even for a mailed-in raspberry brew. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Updated: Sep 14, 2008<b>Date:</b> 04/29/1999<br />

ClarkVV (3550), Allston, Massachusetts, USA Nov 5, 2005 A weak yellow with an off-white, pink tinged head that is small and quickly fleeting. No lacing, rather filtered looking. Aroma smells of light hay, wheat dryness and light raspberry syrup, though not very sweet at all. Flavor begins with a rather insipid raspberry flavor, followed by too much wheat dryness and a sourish, strange, muddled yeast character. Lightly acidic, yet it has very little malt and in a general sense, very little of anything. Gets watery and tiresome very quickly. Body is light, mouthfeel is overcarbonated but watery on end. It’s examples like this that give the style a bad name. CapFlu (3353), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Jul 4, 2003 Updated: Apr 19, 2004(Draught) Sampled at Gritty McDuffs Brewpub in Freeport, Maine. Thin. Jammy raspberry nose - artificial aroma. Rather sweet flavour. Below par... jerc (3268), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 7, 2005 Pale yellow, small white head. Very tart raspberry up front in the aroma and flavour. Tartness lingers with the flavour of the raspberry doing likewise. Average to thin palate. Not a lot going on but mostly inoffensive.
