Brewed by Abita Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Covington, Louisiana USA

Serve in Flute

Has a hazy orange/amber color, possibly light purple/pink in the center. Has only a subtle taste of raspberry with traces of grape and wheat. Feels really light, and is easy to drink. Quite refreshing for a hot summer day.

pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. faint notes of rasberry, wheat, hay, grapes, whipped cream. crisp and clean. easy drinkin

not much to say about this one. it tastes like a watered down raspberry lambic. nothing special at all but at the same time not offensive. i suppose girls would like this.

aroma of very muted, tar general fruit. flavor is ultra dry, similar to schweppes grape ginger ale but with a metallic twang. fruit presents itself like a sports drink, buried and far away and artificial.

If they had left this fine wheat alone, and not raspberried it, it would lack the lovely misty pink-purple haze that gives it a name, but then it might also taste much better.

Bottle. Poured hazy gold with a white head. Aroma consisted of fruits and a touch of malts. Flavor had the presence of raspberries and while easy drinking, it is not complex in anyway.

Bottle. Not quite worthy of a long description. Watery and plain. Some raspberry sweetness but not too much. Have another? Pass.
