pours out a pale slightly cloudy honey color. it produced a finger thick eggshell white head that fell at a slow rate. the head settled to a nice thin cap produced some thin lacing on the edges that were a little delicate. the aromas are fruity and yeasty with notes of hay and grain cereal. there is the noted raspberry in the nose with a winey citrus note. it is light bodied and it finishes crisp and light. its a little sandy across the tongue and bubbly. it is a little watery and has a light fruit taste that isnt balanced. an average wheat beer with some raspberry being more prevelent in the aftertaste.

Recommended if you like fruit beers, definitely steer clear if you don’t. Light, refreshing wheat and raspberry flavors. Easy to drink and generally a crowd pleaser.

Good tasting fruit beer if that is your thing. Aroma of raspberries is not too strong. Cloudy, light-orange color. Strong raspberry taste with a slight alcohol taste. Carbonation is present in taste.

WakeandBake (549) - Greenville, Michigan, USA - NOV 28, 2009
Bottle. A hazy light amber color body with a small frothy off white head , leaving little lacing , medium carbonation . Aroma is slightyl malty with light notes of raspberry and a hint of straw . Flavor is quite subtle , mostly sweet with a light berry flavor , a little wheat tang , no bitterness , a berry finish , light body with a watery mouthfeel . Quite sessionable but lacks any real flavor or aroma that I am looking for , a fun try though .

A pretty good version of a fruit flavored American Wheat. Sweet blueberry aroma with a touch of malty bread. Very clean, with a great hint of berryness for a very refreshing and different beer. Hint of bananas surround the glass. Definately worth a try.

Bottle. This should have been called skunk berry beer. This was not a very good beer. I believe someone needs to go back to the drawing board.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - NOV 9, 2009
Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Pour a cloudy, light orange color with a small, foamy, white head. The head is gone pretty quickly. Aroma: Wheat, grain, and a bit of berry in the nose. Fairly light. Flavor: Light as well unfortunately. A bit of graininess, and some raspberry but a bit on the artificial side. Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a light mouthfeel and a short finish. Overall: This one lacks flavor and identity. Good for those girls that aren’t into craft beer. Not recommended.
