Excellent nose, lots of fruity rasberry aromas, almost purple in color, decent lacy head, lots of fruity & berry flavors, rasberries all over the place, not a whole lot of wheat beer characterists, definitely more of a fruit beer, but very very good

Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant raspberry color with a huge pink head. The aroma was sweet and tangy berry with a light but noticeable "beer" malt undertone. The flavor was very tart and tangy with a crisp raspberry element and a light malty undertone. There is a tart berry finish. The alcohol is completely hidden. Fabulous.

Wow, a great dark red color, almost looks like a wine. Great smell, fruity smell of raspberries...duh! Alcohol is masked well, taste of an explosion of fruit. A really good fruit beer.

Bottle: Poured a reddish strawberry color with a thin pink head. The aroma was that of raspberries. The flavor was fruity with raspberries and very refreshing. This beer makes a great dessert beer. Easily my favorite fruit beer.

Draught @ Pheonixville: Huge tart raspberry nose. Dark purpule color. Opaque. Tasted sweet and of raspberries, but not overly so. Easy to drink. Perhaps the best fruit beer I have ever had, even if it is a ’wheat.’

Tap. Okay, let me start out by saying that I do not like wheat beers, nor do I like fruity beers. However, this beer is wonderful. It’s full of flavor that isn’t too sweet, but very drinkable, and you can’t even taste the alcohol. The appearance is beautiful--a dark, ruby red. I even poured a 5 ouncer into my O-Reilly’s Stout--that’s how well I think of it. Yum.

Growler. Light red color with small head. Nice rasberry color and aroma. I understand a lot of fresh rasberries are used in brewing this stuff, hence the $18 growler pricetag. Not too sweet and nott too light but just right. Not a fan of fruit beers but this was as good as any that I’ve had. I put some of this in my Hitachino Sweet Stout and it was great.

Buffy raspberry hue and sudsy dirty pink-beige head.
Aroma of raspberries, sour cherries, and caramel-chocolate.
Moderately sweet with nice dry finishing acidity.
Some palatable texture early on, but dries and puckers in the finish.
This is developing very nicely.
