| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 30, 2007 12oz. Bottle: Nice aroma has notes of raspberry, medicine, honey, tea, and barley. Scent is somewhat tart. Poured amber in color with a small off-white head that diminished very quickly. Clear. Not sparkling. Looks kind of clear and watery. Flavor is heavily sweet. Tastes of raspberries, medicine, tea, and barley. Way too sweet. Light body. Thin and watery. Average carbonation. Long sweet finish. Overall, too sweet. Tastes like raspberry iced tea, not a fruit beer. Could not finish. 5000 (2913), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 21, 2006 Bottle: Fiery amber, moderate sudsy off-white head, spotty lacing, light carbonation. Musty nose, some notes of raspberry and sweet grass. Very faint and artificial, but it sure brings me back to the days when I had several Spanish Peaks varieties available to me. Seems fairly malt, more than I remembered. Body and mouthfeel are average. Soft finish, very light fruit at this point. Perhaps the honey is more noticeable here than at the start when the fruit was a bit stronger. Tiz okay, but fairly weak otherwise.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 15, 2007 Slightly hazy amber body with a small creamy off-white head. Sweet light raspberry aroma with a hint of grain. Sweet raspberry flavor, some honey a touch of caramel and some grain. beerinmarch (2830), Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 22, 2006 Pours light amber with a white head. Nose was sweet, lots of rapsberry, but doesn’t prepare you for how sweet the flavor is. Your palate gets a shock of raspberry sweetness followed by some caramel and honey in the finish. Pretty decent beer until a slight metallic flavor shows in the finish, but still doesn’t make it gross. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jul 25, 2002 A lightly flavored ale. People will say this is a chick beer, but it deserves more credit than that. It’s got enough malt to be called an ale, and its sweetness isn’t cloying. Refreshing.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 28, 2003 Like most fruit beers, it smeels and looks great. Reddish orange with bit rocky white head. Aroma of, oh lets see, maybe honey and raspberries? Not neaarly as much in the flavor. I give it credit for maintaining some beer flavors, but ultimately it just does not work. cloying sweet.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 3, 2003 Updated: Apr 9, 2006Light copper with some haze. Big raspberry nose was inviting. Softly textured malts with a light-to-moderate, fizzy carbonation. Sugary grains and cereals with a light sugar cookie sweetness. Syrupy-sweet raspberry flavor carries into the aroma. A very mild bitterness exposes itself in the finish. Just not enough. Flavorful notes of raspberry waft about, but unfortunately, I thought they had a slightly synthetic quality to them. Overall, not a bad wine cooler. IrishBoy (2792), Bakersfield, California, USA
