pintbypint (897), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jul 31, 2004 Updated: Mar 6, 2005 341ml brown bottle. Poured cloudy orange. Small floaties. Whitish head of compact small bubbles, somehwat creamy and sticky. Dryish aroma with raspberry. Detectable wheat character, seems well attenuated. Very light raspberry notes. Still a bit bland from the bottle, but a big improvment from the draught sample I first had.
JohnBarleycorn (386), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 30, 2008 Bottle purchased from brewery. Light-brown beverage with a slight red infusion. Aromas of fresh raspberry fruit and woody raspberry seed. Soda-like effervescence is light and refreshing. Flavour begins with tart raspberry fruit, but this nuance surprisingly dies away about half-way through, replaced by bitter wood and a crisp hop finish. Overall an okay beer that takes some getting used to. Would make a good mid-afternoon cottage beer. terrybail (212), London, Ontario, Canada Oct 28, 2008 500ml Bottle from the LCBO
Not bad for a fruit beer but could use a little more taste
KyotoLefty (537), Kyoto, Japan Sep 1, 2008 Medium to dark amber, with a low off-white head. Relatively fragrant aroma of dark malts, wheat, raspberry and hops: neither the wheat nor the fruit is in control here--good balance, sour and sweet. Taste is berry, with sweet and sour, dark malts, caramel, wheat and a touch of hops. Interesting combination, not strong on the wheat. The raspberry is a little fake tasting, but otherwise pretty decent. Finish of malt and sour fruits, with a touch of hops only. An interesting fruit beer with a lot going on. Not perfect or even outstanding, but enjoyable enough. ILduce (115), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 29, 2008 500ml bottle: Orange. Heavy raspberry nose with some wheat. Taste reminiscent of nail-polish remover. Some hoppy notes but otherwise bland and contrived. Thin. Unpleasant from beginning to end. Tessic (417), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Aug 28, 2008 This Wheat beer poured a cloudy light orange colour with a rocky bright white head. To the nose there are scents of raspberry jam, yeast and sweet malt. First taste had a very strong purfume taste that didn’t really go away. Very thin as far as the mouthfeel went. This beer is lacking something. Watery finish with nothing but cheap purfume lingering.
