Hazy yellow gold hue, with an off-white head, wheaty, fruity nose of raspberries and blackberies, with subtle tartness, hint of honeyed pale malt in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp yeasty, fruity acidic blackberry fruity character despite the fact that they added raspberries, it’s more blackberry for me, with a note of tartness, a mild honeyed pale malt accent, leading towards an acidic, spritzy raspberry light sourness finish.

Bottle thanks to 17th floor. pours a nice hazy straw yellow with billowy white head. Nose is very srtificial rasberry with some soured grain. Flavor starts off with faint rasberry sweetness then movses toward a skunky wheat finsh some cardboard as well. Body is weak and watery. Gross!!!

Pours red with a white head. Smells of raspberries and syruppy. Tastes of syrup, some wheat. Not one of their better beers.

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!
