Nice amber color. Light and tarty aroma of raspberries. Medium mouthfeel, some malt and light raspberry fruitness. Average bitterness. Drinkable.

Nice simple beer, with the raspberries evident in both the aroma and taste. Minimal hops, some malts, nothing special.

On Tap. I normally would not order a ’honey raspbeery’ beer, but on of the bars by me gives away a glass every wednesday and this was the beer. . Smells of honey, raspberry and malts. Amber color. Sour/tart aftertaste. I did not like this beer - but hey, I have a glass from them now.

12oz bottle -pours a fizzy, disappearing light tan head and amber color. Aroma is raspberry spritzer. Taste is sweet raspberry spritzer, grain, faint flat hops which carries to aftertaste. (wheat/light malt) Light/medium body. Good effervescence.
