Bottle at Norfolk (US) beer festival. Dark maroon, scant tan head. Mild fruit aroma, fairly plain flavor, decent malt and sweetish raspberry, inadequately balanced. OK, but not great.

From tap at Yard House in San Diego. Pours hazy deep orange with a small white head. Aroma is crisp orange and tangerine fruity. Mild citric base flavour, rather dry yet refreshing with a bitterness making the finish even more dry and crisp.

Pours cloudy amber with a decent sized white head. Nose is faint wheat. Taste is simple with wheat and raspberries. Mouthfeel is light. Decent, but nothing amazing happening here.

Cloudy yellow/orange pour. Wheat, biscuits, and sweet raspberries. Slightly tart and refereshing, but also very simple.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow color with a medium white head. It has a slight taste of biscuit with a little bit of a cereal taste and a strong taste of wheat and raspberries. This beer was a little disappointing to me.

"From Belmont Station, in Portland, OR. First off, this is a good beer for a hot day, not for mid-January barbeque-manning. Otherwise, things started with a jump, as this poured out an active foamy white head capping a body of very cloudy gold. Aroma was slightly fruity, and the taste was fruity, but more so. Raspberry it certainly was, but the mouthfeel disappointed, being thinnish but at least it did have a certain "snap" to it. Truth be known, I only bought this so as to get another state (Louisiana) onto my stats."

I had a pint of this on tap at the Crossroads Bar and Grill in Chicago. I was looking through the menus for something that I have not tried and decided to give this a whirl. Poured a deep gold color with a very small white head and just a little bit of carbonation. The aroma was not offensive, but was very bland. It consisted of some light hop (?) character with a small hint of fruit. The taste consisted of some sweet malt with a little bit of fruit taste. I am not sure what fruit it was, but it may have been raspberry. It had a light mouth feel and was very easy to drink. Overall, a refreshing beer on a hot summer day but nothing to get excited about...

had this a few times now but hadn’t rated. 12oz bottle. murky gold pour with thin bubbly off-white head. earthy aroma with a hint of the raspberry. lightly sweet berry taste up front that peters out fairly quickly. makes it a brief dry sour finish. not as offensive as I remembered it - just not a lot going on.
