Copper body with a very short lived head and an aroma that is full of sweet raspberry. that is a bit over the top. Flavor is drier and more bitter than expected. It seems more cranberry than raspberry. Wheat is in the background. A weak effort.

At FBC. A golden pour wth a hint of amber. Very raspberry aorma that even smells sweet. Decent raspberry on the flvor but not as much as on the nose. Carbonation and mouthfeel are solid. A decent drinker for the style. Not much to get excited about but a very pleasant surprise.

This beer has a hazy red, orange, brown body with no head. There is a huge raspberry aroma that reminds me of syrupy medicine. The flavor has much more of a malty taste with a bit of the raspberry flavor and a bit of a grassy wheat flavor.

Honey colored with very little head. Aroma is a bit tart, and prominently raspberry. Taste is same, but very sweet with a semi-rough grainy aftertaste which quickly fades to mild minerals. Not bad at all.

Bottle from Beerlando and served in flute glass: Deep golden almost amber hue with a fading head and little lace. The nose has a big raspberry syrup and herbal vapour with a hint of DMS, not much else. The taste starts with the same syrupy raspberry overtone with a dash of grassy hop bitterness and a bready malt background, not much else. The mouth feel is soft and dry and surprisingly mostly clean on the finish. Nothing outstanding about this beer, if the raspberry tasted fresher then they may have something.

Interesting beer. Pours a deep copper color. Aroma filled with raspberries. Berry taste like PhillyBeer said. Kind of like a fruit beer, but a hint of malt and some zest. Not too bad in my opinion.

Darkish bronze color, big foaming head. Aroma of dough and raspberries. Flavor is berryish without being sweet, with a touch of graininess/doughiness and maybe a hint of lemon zest. Finish is semi-dry and borderline astringent. Decent mouthfeel with soft carbonation.

Nice coloring with thick head meant great promise, but alas the thin carbonation and rasberry liquor finish made it like the cheap day old jelly donuts
