2010 Bottle - Pours hazy and pinkish tan with a small white head...aroma is light berry and cereal grain, dry malt...flavour is thin and lightly fruity with wheat and grass, dry in the mouth, lightly tart finish...benign enough, not as bad as I expected, but probably won’t ever drink again...

Was lucky enough to get this at a popular dancing bar. light fruit sweet aroma of raspberry for sure. the taste was a little tart mixed with some wheat malt. Awesome dry finish and balanced carbonation that makes this a special brew.

Cloudy gold with a small white head. Fruity yeast aroma with a thin dry taste. A good session beer or a refreshing summer one.

Poured with a great huge white foamy frothy fluffy head and lots of lace. Color is a hazy amber. Aroma is weird: raspberry and skunk. Got this at a quick mart type store and even given the brown glass, who knows how this beer was stored. But, by the time I got to drink it, it had warmed a bit and I can’t imagine how that improved my experience. Flavor was similar to aroma. Body is thin and carbonation is ok. Finish is like flavor and diminished by body. Am looking for the sedative effect of alcohol right now prior to my trip tomorrow and cant finish this beer. Wa.

Bottled. Hazed amber with not much head. Aroma is raspberry tart and light wheat. Flavor is similar all clean in mouthful. Not to much to talk about but refreshing and lacking bitterness completely.

Sample at Montgomery brewfest. Had this numerous times and never rated. Pours hazy golden. Aroma of raspberries and wheat. Light and crisp mouthfeel. Tastes like raspberry flavored water.

phaleslu (3182) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - MAY 23, 2010
12 oz. bottle at some stupid Bourbon Street bar in New Orleans. Pours a weird-looking, cloudy orange with purple tints- kind of lives up to the name. Aroma of wheat, orange syrup, raspberries, and sweet malts. Flavor of wheat, sweet malts, raspberries, oranges, and yeast. Light-medium bodied, with low carbonation and a wheaty, syrupy mouthfeel. Unusual beer, but easy to drink and beats a macro lager while there are limited options on Bourbon Street.

Slightly redder, but otherwise average wheat beer with hint of raspberry flavor. A little flat and dry. Rated 8/11/04
