alobar (1866) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 3, 2009
Cloudy yellow orange color with a thick white head that disappears faster than you can blink your eyes. Aroma of wheat and raspberry puree. Decent lacing. Taste is slightly tart with a bit of fruity sweetness.

johnnyoski (287) - Macomb, Michigan, USA - APR 2, 2009
bottle: Hazy, straw colored with tiny particles. So there is haze but no trace of purple. Virtually no head. Wheat and faint berry aroma. Light wheat taste with very soft raspberry tones. Can’t say its natural tasting, but its not an unpleasant chemical taste either. An ok beer but not much else to it.

Blaze312 (132) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - APR 2, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours golden with a light head. Aroma, hint of raspberry. Taste is raspberry and slightly bitter. Not really an amazing beer. But it’s not all that bad either.

BVery (1976) - Burnsville, Minnesota, USA - APR 1, 2009
TAP: hazy orange pour, nose is sweet faint raspberry. Taste is thin, some raspberry, and otherwise a fairly run-of-the mill wheat. Not a bad beer, but not a great beer either.

Snojerk321 (2954) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 30, 2009
Bottle from BevMo! Pours orange with a fluffy white head. The aroma has light cough syrup style raspberries, rich wheat malt and hints of pepper. It has a light crisp body with frothy, yet somehow sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with the fake medicinal raspberries. The finish is metallic and very uninviting.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - MAR 29, 2009
Bottled (CK). Hazy dark orange color, small white head. Lightly tart and metallic rasberry aroma. Watery, bland palate. Light fruityness, rasberry seeds flavor, a bit wheaty-grainy. Light sourness, not much, in the finish. Overall very watery and useless.

branspra (293) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - MAR 22, 2009
Bottle. Pours a hazy, orangish color with a large, frothy head. Lacing is okay. Aromas of raspberries, wheat, and a bit of hay. Lively palate to start and then a crisp, clean finish. Taste is wheat at the beginning, raspberry to finish. Okay beer but I would prefer it to have a bit more flavor for my liking.

pistolpete (203) - USA - MAR 22, 2009
12 oz bottle sweet smelling, and overly sweet tasting, i could definitely see someone who liked something like a mikes hard lemonade, or smirnoff ice. This was ever sweeter than long trail’s blackberry wheat.
