12oz draft from the harp... It tastes like that blueberry wheat stuff from seadog that everyone loves. It appears that american wheat beers are now being fruited up - in an attempt to capture some of the malternatives market. Even people who stick to harpoon, snpa, and long trail know that this beer is crap like #9 and blueberry wheats.

Great for the summer....light, easy drinking with a subtle raspberry finish. Not a top choice, but not bad for a fruit beer.

Flowery aroma. Apricot color with light head retention. Sweet, honey-like flavor with some subtle raspberry tartness. Light and crisp mouthfeel. Not bad especially on a hot day.

First thing that hits you is a strong rasberry aroma. The taste is almost overwelming. The rasberry tast is so abundant that its almost like drinking a b*tch beer.

12 oz- Pours a cloudy reddish yellow with a small white bubbly head. Scents of raspberries but hard to detect in flavor. Disappointing

Got this to finish out a "pick your own 6-pack", but its not even worth that. The only way I can describe it is salty carbonated water mixed with a hefeweizen. I think theres a slight fruit flavor of some sort but its so hidden I can’t really make it out. I suppose if I liked wheat beers I might rate it slightly higher, bit I don’t so I won’t.

Let’s just say this isn’t my favorite beer in any sense of the word, and we can move on.

Murky reddish yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma was slight with wheat and fruit. Tasted very mild with small hints of rasberry and grass.
