| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 16, 2009 This is a rating for the original Celis Raspberry, which was one of the best fruit beers on the market. Normally, in order to get sufficient fruit flavor one would either have to add so much fruit that the beer became too sour or use flavorings which tasted chemical or medicinal. Somehow this brewer is able to make a raspberry beer that tastes like a fruit punch or wine cooler without any of the usual problems. HighlanderOne (546), Somewherein, New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 26, 2001 It has a strong aroma of raspberry, and the flavor is tart.
This stuff has a nice raspberry zing to it. A good summer choice. RDeschain (10), Rowlett, Texas, USA

This is one of my favorite beers. Not a traditional lambic, since it lacks the "wild" yeast, but a wonderful fruit beer. Delicious aroma and aftertaste, and very drinkable. Somewhat pink in color. Few beers are as quenching on hot day. Also a great compliment to chocolate cake! kublai3 (170), Staten Island, New York, USA

It has a nice raspberry bite to it that, to me, is a nice change from the same ol’ lager. Too many in a row, however, will get old fast. beergirl99 (101), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2000 This was nice, but a little light. The raspberry flavor, fortunately, was not too bitter as often is the case. The appearance was lacking, but overall a nice beer. Jimmylib (169), old bridge, New Jersey, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 2, 2005 Raspberry, cotton candy, caramel, something perfumey. The nose is not what I expected. Body is clearish gold with slight ruby notes. Flavor of caramel, sweet but not syrupy or soda-esque raspberry/blueberry. Maplely malt finish with a bit of wheat, raspberry. I enjoy this more than most fruit beers
