Poured from bottle, it says rasberry but I really couldn’t smell it at all, barely a taste of fruit,, not bad but not good.

Bleh. I’ll never get this again. Too much fruit and sweet and not enough balance with the wheat

From a 12 oz bottle this poured a light pink over yellow with a foamy white head and very good lacing. Nose of wheat and berry. Light to medium body and good smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is more wheat than berry, which I prefer in this style. Decent.

In a mix-a-six from BP Amoco in Edwardsville. A hazy pour with almost a one finger white head. An aroma of raspberries that are on the sweet side. Flavor is also raspberry with peaches. Some wheat. A decent chick beer but not one I want again.

Appearance: cloudy gold, with a hint of grapefruit/orange juice. Aroma: mellow scent, very light HW-style aroma, but with raspberries instead of banana. Taste: like an unsweet, watery lambic with HW notes, tiniest hint of raspberries. Finish: very short; almost invisible, but clean. Notes: Very forgettable. Hoped for much more of a raspberry scent/flavor. Sticking with the lambics for this, I suppose.

It’s not Crazy Shirl’s homemade Raspberry Disaster. This stuff was great.................NOT!! It is a beer flavored beverage that MAY entice neighborhood lovelies into unbridled mayhem with you (but probably won’t unless you are a millionaire). But if that is what you are going for stick with a winner: Blatz.. I really wouldn’t keep this onhand unless you like throwing your money away on unsophisticated grog. Trust me, I’ve been to Milwaukee, so I ought to know.

Pours a bright orangey amber color. Has a small white head. Smells intensely like raspberries. Tastes is mildly of raspberries with a bit of a sour finish. Fairly sweet.

Draught at Pour 24, LV. Very hazy with a pale pink hue. It’s bready and yeasty with a pleasant enough rounded taste, but I think the taste is more blueberry than raspberry. Not bad.
