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.

Pours a light amber with a thick tight head. There is a faint smell of raspberries that is almost medicinial in quality. Unfortunately the taste is rather thin and insipid. There is also a slight aftertaste of camphor.

Very light, hazy color. A slight raspberry taste, but not very much wheat. Sour aftertaste.

light head, fruity aroma, almost grapefruit color, sweet at first with subtle wheat flavor, little to no finish, if your lookiing for a wheat beer this isn’t it, but if youre looking for a light fruity beer I enjoyed it.

Tinted hazy color. Medium head. Raspberries in the aroma, not too strong. Light taste, rasperries dominating. Palate is a little thin and it finishes soft.

Good flavor of raspberry, but a weak wheat beer behind it. No real finish to speak of.

A very good fruity tasting beer. Not one which is too overwhelming with fruit taste. Has an excellent beer taste as well.
