Sampled from bottle. Oh goodness, I hated this. Aroma is candy sweet, flavor is full of obnoxious soda pop berry sweetness. I will not attempt to take another sip. Don’t mean to sound sexist, but spagyetti may have got it right in saying this drink is "not meant for men."

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, pinkish-lavender color with a white head. nose is sweet, berries. taste is of blackberries and other types of berries, but way too sweet. Mouthfeel is medium-to-thin and very carbonated. Like drinking a berry soda.

I can’t believe I’ve never rated this. I kinda liked when I first started drinking, but my preference faded quick for this one. Its pretty hard to finish one of these let alone a six pack. This rating is for the pour at Miller Brewing company after their tour. Pours a fruity orange pink that has a little purple coming through. A pink white head on top. Fake berry fruits and sugars in the nose. The flavor is just the same, sugary sweet fake fruit berries. That being said, if you’re in the mood for an alchy pop. Or you like a little carbonation and alcohol in your purple kool-aid. ... well here ya go. Although its hard to finish, its not that terrible either. If there’s nothing else around, I might grab one of these.

Very confectionated and the berries taste more on the concentrate side than what you’d get from natural juice. There is some wheat in the mix which seems to balance the artificial kool aid pretty well but change the berries and it would work IMHO.

Wow. Sweet Sweet Sweet. An awful lot of sugar in this puppy. It really doesn’t taste so much like berries and just tastes like sweet soda. I really didn’t care much for it. No grains, no hops, just sweet. Yuck.

Bottle 08.’ Tastes like snapple or wine spritzer. I hated but my girlfriend loved it and she hates beer so I guess it has some merit. I would not reccomend it unless you wanted lots of berry flavor in your beer.
