Mar 15, 2006 Bottle (small sample) at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 29/09/2005
Golden amber coloured with a very fruity aroma and flavour. Crisp slightly dry finish.

Mar 12, 2006 Fruit punch color with pinkish foam. Generic "berry" scent, just a hint of malt. Tastes like it smells, strong "berry" flavor and very little beer character. Almost a malternative. Doesn’t taste bad, but barely beer.

Feb 4, 2006 alright if you like grape kool aid if not you’ll hate it. i think it’s average as far as fruit beers go more of a ladies beer though.

Jan 13, 2006 Updated: Apr 3, 2008This is my wifes favorite beer. I can drink one, but any more is too sweet. It does have a good taste, appearance and aroma. The beer flavor is still present through the berries, which makes it very unique. I hate wine coolers, but this is drinkable.

Jan 2, 2006 Pours a transperent orangish red color with decent head that fades quickly. Strong aroma of berries with some hoppiness. Smooth flavor of berries and carbonation with some malt and hoppiness.
It just doesn’t sit well with me - I don’t think my stomach can decide if it’s a wine-cooler or a beer.

Dec 28, 2005 I do like Leine’s beers, but this one is kinda weird. Its a well made beer, with a wonderful aroma, and great presentation, in fact I love all Leine’s presen. but this one just has a cheap candy/fruit flavor that just doesn’t sit right with me. If it was for the aroma and presentation, this beer would score a lot less with me.

Dec 10, 2005 A maroon-plum tint. Decent head and lacing—both fade fast. The smell of berries is present from the time the bottle is opened. A smooth but mildly tangy taste of berries. The taste doesn’t linger long at all.
