I had this one on tap at the Mellow Mushroom. First of all, it did have a lovely slight pink hue to the otherwise golden body. Slight head, moderate carbonation, and a smell like roses (really). The taste was wheaty (obviously) with just a hint of berry coming through, making it a refreshing brew, but not overtly complex

I strained to see the pink that some others have mentioned but will leave it that this poured a fairly golden colour with some mild haze. Aroma-wise, I was a bit put off with the raspberry odour coming from the glass; it smelled too much like berry to me and I question the fresh raspberry approach mentioned in the commercial description. Flavour was underwhelming for a wheat beer.

Pours a hazy (no pun intended) orange color with white head and has a wheat/fruity aroma. The taste light-medium body with of sweet rasberry and wheat, which doesn’t sit long or have any aftertaste. I really enjoyed this beer and could drink this all summer long.

Draft. Pours a very interesting color, a creamy pink. Smells carbonated, fruity, and definite raspberry. Taste is crisp with raspberries and carbonation. Interesting and for a fruity beer really not that bad but I can’t imagine I’d want to drink this very often.

Bottle. Beer pours a a light amber with a distinguished pinkish hue to it. Has a very light white head to it. Taste is slightly tart with a definite raspberry taste and scent. A nice beer.

This is an o.k. brew. Nice color to the beer, a little pinkish-purple tint. Nice aroma but not much of a head. Pretty drinkable though.

Bottle Pours a hazy slight pinkish witha quick off white head. No real lacing. Slight aroma of raspberries, I suppose, and they are inthe flavor as well. A bit soapy, and extract-ish. Just tastes cheap. Clean quick fairly dry finish, quaffable but move on to some thing better in the style.

A good raspberry wheat beer... I would only drink one of these however... very fruity with a faded purple color to it. Enjoyable wheat beer
