Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a murky straw yellow with weak, fizzy head. Aroma of wheat malt, lemon, raspberry. Flavor of wheat malt, citrus, raspberry. Mouthfeel is watery, light body, high arbonation. Overall, I wouldn’t pour it down the sink during the summer. Decent pool beer.

cloudy orange. 2 finger head. smells like malt liquor, like a 40 oz. taste, the same except with raspberry syrup added. has an unpleasant twang. i believe i will pass on this one in the future. i dont believe i would even take one for free. well not if there was any other option available that is.

Great fruit aroma, only slightly sweet, very crisp, and a quite refreshing wheat, nothing spectacular.

A bottle at the recommendation of my publican at Paul’s. Poured a hazy, slightly pink-hued light amber with an small, thin head. Some syrupy fruit on the nose, but mostly skunky grains. Taste was light and grassy with a hint of berry. Watery body and a good bit of fizzy carbonation. Exhibits none of the characteristics of a great fruit beer.

Wheat and raspberries in the smell as you would expect but the fruit as typical it seems is slightly artificial. Wheat stays through with the taste but it is weak in the fruit. Not really liking the after taste. Pale yellow and hazy with an average head.

Pours a hazy amber color with a lilac hue and a small white head. Sweet caramel aroma with fruity notes of raspberry and corn grain like notes as well. Thin body, crisp with a little grainy malt and much-subdued raspberry. Overtones of wheat. Really, where did all the promised fruitiness go? For shame, tsk, tsk...

Cloudy golden color, with only hints of raspberry smell. Taste was not great, quite weak. Wish it was a bit heavier and more tasteful. Only positive, it can be drank in mass quantities much like water.

This beer just didn’t have enough kick too it. didn’t detect any hops. I think it would be better if it was a little more bitter. It tasted kind of flat in my mouth, with an odd raspberry taste at the end. I wouldn’t buy this again. Hey at least i get too add a cool bottle to my collection!
