Not bad for a wheat beer. Pours a cloudy pinkish color. Raspberry flavor is very subtle. Not my choice of beer but rather refreshing. Nice during a hot summer BBQ.

served at NYC Brewtopiafest. hazy golden body with a small white head. smelled fruity, of raspberry and of fresh wheat. tastes of wheat, rasberries, strawberries and is very carbonated. the body is a bit thin. a little too sweet.

Bottle. Poured an attractive dark golden color with head that dissapated quickly. Very smooth and flavorful, fruit flavor is more evident than in others I’ve had. I thought this was good. Can’t believe how others have bashed it. Extremely drinkable.

This is weird shit. I’ve had good fruit beers before, and this ain’t it. Nose of rasperry Kool Aid, but not real rasperies. Tastes like raspberry skittles, if there were such a beast, dissolved in Schlitz. Don’t drink this shit.

Head disapates quickly. Smells of rasberries, but thet are pretty weak in flavor. Drinkable, but more like a soda than a fruit beer.

draft. I may be a little biased on this rating beacause I had it when I was in need of a beer and went into a diner in New Orleans and this was the best beer they had. Pretty well balanced but a odd hop taste.
