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.

Bottle: Massive white head atop of one of the worst colored ales I’ve ever seen. Looked like fruit juice, maybe peach? Nose is malty and soapy, hints of fruit. Bubbly on the tongue with wheat, malt, sours, and the subtle fruit flavor of a watery wine cooler. Couldn’t stand to finish this one.

Cloudy pinkish, pink lemonade like pour with a bright bleached white head that doesn’t last. Smell is a bit wheaty, and mostly raspberry as expected with a touch of a metallic smell that lasted after the head faded. Taste is mostly raspberry and a bit of wheat in the finish, but its slight. I didn’t like this as much as I remember liking it when all I drank was bud light and hard ciders. Its an ok beginner beer I’d say, as my girlfriend liked it, and so did I when I hadn’t tried or gotten used to many of the different styles or bolder flavors that I really enjoy now.
