12oz bottle. Pours out a cloudy gold-amber with a fine white head. Smells like old wheat bread and raspberry jam. Tastes like watery grain with a light, fake fruit flavor added. Thin and fizzy body feels pretty bad in the mouth. Not something that I would get again.

I wish it was warm enough outside today to cut the grass and have one of these. A beer for someone who does not particularly like the taste of beer. Too raspberry for my liking, but beats the hell out of a Coors Blue Moon. Not as bad as these ratings make it out to be.

I was actually suprised by this beer but the flavors could have been stronger. Hazy golden pour with a small white head. Aroma of raspberries and a touch of wheat. The raspberry flavor is present but could be stronger.

Almost embarrassed rating this one but it came with a cool free glass, on tap as a promotion. Golden color with a purple tinge provided by the psychedelic glass, wish I had my black light and fog machine with me. Smell of wheat and berries. Taste of wheat, distinct raspberry tartness, crisp finish. Difficult to finish the glass. Not sweet, but just too fruity and somewhat one dimensional.

I liked this one. For a raspberry beer, this one went down really smooth. I’m not a fan of fruity beers, but would recommend this one!

Hazyish pink bronze. Slight wheaty-raspberry aroma. Wimpy raspberry wheat flavor with some sourness. Light bodied and underwhelming.

Minimal wheat, minimal raspberry, minimal disappointment just because my expectations weren’t high to begin with. Understanding that their intention is for refreshing, this one comes across a bit watered down. I wish the flavors were a bit more bold.

I’m giving this a slightly higher than average rating, even though I used to really like this beer. It seems that lately it’s lost some of it’s flavor. It used to have a good wheat flavor, with a small rasberry hint to it. Now, it seems to taste only like seltzer, with a little bit of rasberry. And the bubbles in this are huge, and you can feel them in your mouth.
