The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Draught. Pours pale pink with a small frothy white head, somewhat diminishing, fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, hay), average hops (fruit, grass), average yeast (sweat) with notes of raspberry. Light bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonation and a chalky finish. Light sweetness, acidity and bitterness; chalky raspberry flavor.

This beer is virtually undrinkable. It’s nice to smell, but that’s about it, even the waitress said "eeuw!"

Tap. Strong raspberry aroma with light hops. Dark pink color wtih moderate head. Sweet-tart raspberry and malt flavor - moderate carbonation. Better than the average fruit beer - nice raspberry flavor without being cloying.

Bright pinkish red with definite berry tones to the nose. Tart and very sweet to start, with amost a citric finish. More like a declawed pink grapefruit than raspberry, but a decent sweet sipper.

Reddish body with a pink head. This looks a lot like Lindemans Framboise. Crisp pilsner-like malt underneath the fruit. Crisp, lively, a bit tart from the fruit. My wife would love this one.

Reddish Orange, no head. Nice aroma - raspberry, of course. Flavor is a bit cloying, no hops to speak of.
