| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 21, 2005 Updated: Sep 2, 2005Bottle. Not as good as i was hoping. Some light sweet rasberry, with an ever so slight tart character. Sweetish though, with some buttery/caramel characters coming through at times. Drinkable, but dissapoiting.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Sep 26, 2005 I’m glad this one got the more generic fruit beer label as it falls well short of a lambic. Ruby red and subtle carbonation with some mellow rasberry syrup scents. I couldn’t pick up on any of the barnyard elements commonly found in most examples of a lambic. Taste is very sour and stale like a rasberry pop tart. Weak mouthfeel. anders37 (4760), Malmö, Sweden

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 16, 2005 22 oz bottle. Pretty close to opaque berry-blood color, big fizzy head dies into a creamy thick lasting ring around the edges....aroma of fresh, slightly unripe red raspberries with hints of honey, butterscotch, bit of pale earthy malt...so far, so good, but on the tongue, alas, this is a typical insipid brewpub-type raspberry wheat, faintly tart/sour, tasting of cheap watery raspberry juice, strong grainy sourness, a bit of lactic acid, with a heavily carbonated brackish finish. Too bad, it started off quite nicely.
