Not too fond of this fruit beer. I was having a sample get together with my friend and his uncle and we used it to get the taste of the other beers out of our mouth it had that much flavor. AKA no flavor at all. Can’t really get any fruit flavors at all, nothing special you’re not missing anything.

Slightly purple and hazy, sweet raspberry aroma and taste. A bit of wheat, but not much else.

Sampled at Firewaters, AC. Hazy golden in color. Some rasberry and wheat in the aroma. Taste is very light bodied, with a light to moderate amount of rasberry and tangy wheat. nothing exceptional, though quite drinkable.

Light raspberry taste. Not very good. Carbonated and wheaty. Nothing stands out.

Have had this a number of times. Weak raspberry flavor, but it enhances the lager a little bit. Very dry finish. Not the best beer ever, but good on a hot summer day.

Bottle, best by 08-22. Pale burnt orange, slightly cloudy with a medium head that lasts. Aroma is sour raspberry, strawberry, and honey. Taste is like a raspberry soda mixed with a lot of dry yeast to dampen the sweetness. Palate is light-medium and soapy-dry, with a slight acidic tingle. Better than an industrial lager, but unique is about the best you can say about this one. I like raspberries, but it seems a bit too artificial and perfume-like in this beer.

So I got this just cus its totally out of the blue for me. I wish they would take it back. I would like to be able to take this website into the store with me for the days I impulse buy. It tastes liked powdered raspberry flavouring.
