On tap. Really came across like a lager with raspberry in it rather than an ale. Faint raspberry aroma. Yellow with a fizzy head no real lacing on the glass. Flavors of raspberry and some grassy hops. Not much malt. Raspberry flavor is strong, but I found the combination to work. Not too sweet. Slightly strong in the carbonation, but I found it pretty refreshing.

Big raspberry sweetness on a sweet malt backbone. Small cereal malt and light hop notes. Sweet and enjoyable.

Bottle shared with golubj and others. Aroma of rasberry and yeast; like Jon said a bit perfume like. Color of clear, urine gold; by that description this must have been in the latter half of the tasting. Flavor was alot of wheat; a bit of rasberry ending. Not great.

Bottle shared at the CA-GA cultural beer exchange hosted by alexanderj. Clearish yellow, with a white ring of head; very clean looking. Aroma is perfume, light raspberries. The flavor is the same with straw-tasting malt. The raspberries taste manufactured.

Bottle, thanks Mark: Again, not my style here. It’s difficult for me to have a beer with raspberry that doesn’t taste artificial. This is really no exception. Pours a light yellow with a very, very thick amount of white head. Aroma is citrus and raspberry with a hit of sour notes. Flavor is really light, and the finish is distinctly band-aids.
