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.

[Bottle - Johns Market Portland Oregon] Wow rusty around the rim of the bottle after taking off he cap. Strike one. Next the flavor was like a old shoe and a very off smell from the very first. Strike two. Next the flavor was a weak version of a wheat beer an very little to the raspberry. Not a good beer Stike three. This was a terrible brew. I hope it was just old and not the actual beer. :(

$2.75 at main street bar and grill in aliquippa. Never thought I try this but, I asked for something different and she served this up. I was expecting a sweet beer, wheat and raspberry and all. Was a little disappointed in the flavor. Just your typical american beer with a little non sweetened raspberry flavor added. Not impressed. Not my cup of tea.
