12 oz bottle pours a pale somewhat hazy golden. Typical wheat aroma and no raspberries that I can detect. Flavor is grassy, wheat, and a little hint of raspberry. Not a real good beer in my opinion.

this beer has very artificial raspberry flavor that is more of a throwaway afterthough than a focus of a fruit beer. very flat palete, too much carbonation, mediciny aroma....yuck...

Bottle. Pours clear pale yellow. Aroma is strong artificial-smelling raspberries. Flavor is the same on a very thin palate.

Aroma of dry wheat, raspberries, and grass. Cloudy yellow-orange with a thin white cap and some splotchy lacing. Dry on the palate, light body, with a funky (in a not so good way) finish and aftertaste. Flavor has some tart raspberries along with corn and other odd flavors. Not something I’m looking to get again.

A great frat beer, no more, no less. Girls will drink it. It’s interesting, with a hint of berries.

Hazy yellow gold (thankfully, not purple). Wet hair and grainy aroma with just a hint of raspberry candy. Wheaty palate with a raspberry candy background flavour that seems balanced just about right. This is a bottle I brought home from my NO trip, and compared to the draft version I sipped out of my wife’s glass, I found this was tamed-down in the fruit department. Maybe freshness is an issue?

Bottle. Pours an odd off-white color. Smells of fruit oils. Tastes of way too much raspberry and nothing else. It gives the impression of a little raspberry syrup added to a bunch of water. Not good.

From a bottle. Pours a barely orange color. Little fruit in the aroma. Taste is pretty bland. Little to no wheat flavor or raspberry.
