This one has a light weat and raspberry scent. I loved the light flavor of raspberry as well, i just wish it was a bit more pronounced. Over all I quite liked it.

A pretty decent fruit beer thanks to the wheat. Aroma of wheat and a hint of raspberries. Pour was a foggy gold with a one finger white head. Taste was heavily carbonated with wheat and aftertaste of raspberry. Not bad. I would love this as a lawnmower beer. Makes me anxious to get back to Mardi Gras next year.

Litte on the raspberry taste. Dry and fizzy. A bit of a tart aftertaste. Semi-watery, but no bad. Aroma is nice, pleasant hint of raspberries.

What the hell is this??? It tastes like I’ve been chewing on rose petals. That being said, it is not a bad beer but it’s nothing I’d go out of my way to find again.

It gets a bad reputation, but it is not all bad. Kindof refresshing. The tartness and dryness help this to be a summertime drink.

12 oz single. Hazy pale golden with a large ,tight,bubbly white head, good laceing. Loved the aroma of this one, the raspberries are really well highlighted and as i love the smell of raspberries thats enough for me. The raspberry isnt quite as pronounced in the taste, its rather subdued and in the background to the, wheaty,grassy flavours. Palate lets this one down, very watery. Too limp. Overall a mixed bag, but i suppose OK.

Draft sample at Cincy Brew Ha Ha 8/24 & 8/25. Pours a hazy golden color with a small off white head. The aroma is wheat grass with a faint amount of raspberry. The flavor is much of the same. Wheat grass with raspberry flavor. Light bodied. Barely approaching average.

Bottle. Poured a somewhat rosy amber with somewhat of a head. Not much in way of aroma, just some flowery malitiness. Fairly smooth mouthfeel at first with raspberries hidden in there somewhere. A good, easy to drink beer, but too light for me.
