Terrible beer. Smells like stewed raspberries and grapes. Tastes worse. Perhaps the worst wheat beer that I’ve ever had. This beer is truly a steaming pile of crap. Don’t drink it. Especially for the price.

(12 ounce bottle - pint glass) Pours a cloudy yellow color. Has flakes? in it too. Head is decent and leaves an average lace. Aroma is of a poor quality wheat malt and notes of raspberry. Tastes of medium to heavy sweetness from the raspberries and has a wheat malt charactar. Thin texture and light body.

I normally like wheat beers, but this one was a bit too fruity for my taste. I will not be drinking this particular beer again, and I will not be recommending it to others. The pour was very cloudy as well.

bottle: very dry. fruity raspberry profile is nice, but not balanced well. This could have worked so well, but I wish those flavors were balanced better. Nice fruity tart is there, but not sweet enough to be balanced properly.

Bottle. The beer is straw colored with a whitish, small head that ran away. Body is cloudy from some small particles. Aroma is somewhat candy-like, berry flavor, straw, wheat. Mouth is fairly light with a little zip of carbonation. Flavor is berry, lightly sweet, some earthy sour, wheat character, generic beer flavor. Unremarkable.

Finhead (654) - OFallon, Illinois, USA - FEB 24, 2010
This beer pours almost white toward the bottom and lightly orange at the top with a medium white head. The aroma is rotten raspberries mixed with wet cardboard and bananas. The taste is sour with fizzy carbonation. Not good.
