Oct 30, 2004 Bleh. Deep red with a tiny head. Pretty realistic raspberry aroma, but nothing else. Flavor is pleasant raspberry and honey right up front, along with a very brief hop bite, but it just plain drops to nothingness after that. Watery. Not worth buying more than one bottle.

Oct 23, 2004 Updated: Apr 8, 2005I used to get this one in college every so often. Pretty good fruit-style beer. I detect more raspberry than honey, but the honey is slightly present on the palate, giving it a sticky, slippery feel. Very floral nose and finish.

Oct 16, 2004 Orange-brown with a tan head that quickly diminishes. Smells like a raspberry Jolly Rancher. Raspberry dominates flavor - very strong to start, but then fades in the finish, giving over to a honey malt flavor late in the finish. Not bad.

Oct 11, 2004 Wonderful raspberry aroma, but it smells more like a syrup than real raspberry fruit. great dark amber color. The taste was overtly raspberry. the honey barely came through as the raspberry dominance gave off a tart, bitter, sweaty flavor. the fruit subdues itself towards the end.

Sep 15, 2004 Color is a clear honey-ish amber hue, head is short-lived. In the nose, very raspberry, balanced by sweet honey notes. Carbonation is high, and initial hop bite is big and bracing, but brief. Body is medium, well-balanced, and the flavor is good, persistent, and pleasant. Inevitably, though, the taste of this ale, like every other part of it, collapses into itself and becomes rather dull. Or in other words, the novelty grows tiresome.
This is an I seem to return to every now and then, but with lessening enthusiasm.

Sep 5, 2004 Updated: May 29, 2006Pours a deep amber with a thin head, no lace. No bitterness, with sweet malt and defining raspberry notes. There is a tart raspberry puree, with notes of honey and spice. The mouthfeel is thin and light. Truly a beer for summer, imho. For a fruit beer, it’s very indicative of the style and decently balanced.

Aug 26, 2004 Updated: Dec 7, 2008[12 oz. bottle] Medium amber color with not much of a head. Aroma was a mix of raspberries and malt with a hint of hops underneath it all. Sweet raspberry taste with a faint malt flavor as well. Finish was like raspberry iced tea.

Aug 20, 2004 Darker golden color, slight raspberry nose and taste. Finishes dry and a little tart. 1 or 2 bottles was good on a hot day.
