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.

On tap at Newport Pizza. Pours a hazy goldish hue with a refreshing raspberry nose. Very smooth and easy to drink. Pretty simple beer but very enjoyable!

I found this to be pretty good for a fruit beer. There is a fruity aroma of raspberries. The taste is authentic. I would have preferred a little more wheat beer flavor. Not much body.

12 ounce bottle- anemic clear yellow with an almost nonexistant white head (disipated immediatly). No tast, no mouth feel. No nothing. A flavored seltzer water of a beer.Skip it.

Not too much raspberry to make it bitter. Just enough to make it a lighter fruit beer. Had it from the bottle, so I enjoyed it more than I feel I would have with draft.

Bottle. Pours hazy and light orange with a white head. Fruity raspberry aroma. Light and crisp body, quite refreshing actually. Flavor is tart raspberry. One dimensional but not bad.
