Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Jul 26, 2009 Tap at the brewpub. Light yellow with a pink tint and very little head. Sweet berry aroma, flavor was the same, not my cup of tea. fatguys (65), Wisconsin, USA Jun 30, 2008 I think the brewery changed the name of this beer, but it’s still a raspberry wheat ale. My pint arrived with a small head and was highlighted by a strange, pinkish hue.The first notes are sour followed by a watery raspberry flavor. The mouthfeel is thin, and the beer finishes with a decent wheat bitterness. This is what you get when you cross raspberry-flavored Crystal Light with a subpar wheat beer. MIBRomeo (1962), Wisconsin, USA Dec 23, 2007 terrible.... icky... this should never have been brewed... it’s actually offensive. ChainGangGuy (2523), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Sep 14, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish-pink body with a wispy white head.
Smell: Very peculiar aroma of green asparagus and raspberry essence. Oh dear.
Taste: A true witch’s brew of vegetables, raspberry punch, and a thin maltiness. Finishes tart and watery.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Mild carbonation.
Drinkability: Red Raspberry Ale certainly left my stomach ripplin’. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 9, 2007 Date: 09/08/2007

CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Sep 8, 2007 Pours a transparent pale grapefruity pink with a thin wispy white head. Aroma has some decent sweet raspberry notes with some cardboardy malt. Body is fairly thin and semi-sweet with some tart fruity raspberry flavor toward an effervescent, thin finish. Very bland. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Aug 5, 2007 Sampled at the Northwoods Brewpub in Chetek, Wisconsin. Pours a clear light amber with some pink highlights. Has a thin white head the quickly and totally dissolves to a clean liquid with no lacing or ring. Aroma of lightly sweetened raspberry kool-aid power mix, with a touch of white bread and some flowery hops. Taste is highly carbonated, light bodied with a good balance of bread malt and fruity (raspberry) flavors. Palate is thin and almost watery. Finish has a slight berry tart and then a clean cut aftertaste. If watery light beers is your cup to brew with a touch of berry flavor added, this beer will work.
