Bottle. Dark golden hazy pour w/ little lacing. Nothing about this offering overpowers you, which is some aspects is a good thing. I like to mix these in my cooler every once in awhile just for something different. Goes down smooth and easy.

Pours hazy dark golden, moderate quickly dissipating head. Aroma is malty, yeasty, with a soft raspberry background. Flavor is light malt and raspberry. No detectable bitterness. but very clean finish. Light and refreshing, enjoyable.

not a bad beer, very watery looking and rather thin tasting, but has a good flavor of raspberries. Refreshing but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Pours light brown with a purple tint. Great aroma of rasberries. You can really taste the Abita Spring water in this beer. Very easy to drink. Although not my favorite beer, it is definitely good if you aren’t looking for something overly intense.

Guinness4Duff (515) - Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA - FEB 4, 2008
Pours a cloudy peach color with a white head. Has a mild hop aroma with a weak fruit presence. Has a light body, weak flavor and a raspberry aftertaste. Not that great.

IlanMan (1015) - Appleton, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 2, 2008
Had a light golden color with a copious amount of raspberry aroma. Taste was more so of wheat with a real suttle raspberry taste. I thought it was pretty good. Probably wouldn’t buy again though.

Nose is extremely metallic with a grain edge to it. Flavor is actually pretty smooth with the fruit. Robust wheat body with a smooth and seemingly natural berry influence. Feel has a real strong large bubble hitting the tongue and a pretty standard liquid feel. Overall pretty drinkable. I will say that it is oddly earthy and robust and delivers a not so foo-foo-ey fruit beer experience. May not be the most beautiful example of the style, but it is surely interesting.

Pours a hzy peach colour and smells like raspberiies and beer. So when I tasted it I expected there to beer a raspberry flavor. It just had the aftertaste. I tasted moderately bland but not bad. I drank this out of a wine glass because I didn’t have a flute.
