22oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a medium and hazy yellow color with a huge sized white head. Aromas of raspberries, lemons, and a splash of honey. Tastes of raspberries, wheat, and lemons. Lightly tart finish. Thin body.

Cloudy light yellow. Rusty wheat flavor initially, then a thin pale malt cardboard finish. Bad stuff.

Hazed light golden color with a big bubbly slightly off-white head. Sour raspberry/cherry aroma. Hints of mild spice as well. Quite acidic and lightly sour. I don’t know if it was intended to be like this, But it does make it very dry and quenching. Only a light raspberry essence with a mild slightly sour wheat part. Lots of eff in this one. A hot summer day picnic brew. I like it, but I’m not sure I’m drinking this the way it was made.

The body was slightly hazy medium gold with an off white head. The aroma was cow pies with some wood and dandelions. What are they putting in this to make it smell this way? The taste was dandelions with peach pits and some hay. There was also some watermelon gum. At this point I feel I have had enough fruit beers of various types to offer some advice. Stop using fruit concentrate or fruit flavored additives, they are inferior. Use real fruit, the end product will benefit from the extra care and expense.
