This beer is what Charles Barkley would call terrible. Fruit beer really isn’t my favorite style so maybe I’m biased. I suppose it ’s one of those beers to ease you into craft brewing if you’re used to some of the mass produced stuff out there.

One opf my favorite fruit beers. A little too much carbonation taste, but a nice raspberry flavor. Nice on a hot day.

Has a hazy orange/amber color, possibly light purple/pink in the center. Has only a subtle taste of raspberry with traces of grape and wheat. Feels really light, and is easy to drink. Quite refreshing for a hot summer day.

pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. faint notes of rasberry, wheat, hay, grapes, whipped cream. crisp and clean. easy drinkin

not much to say about this one. it tastes like a watered down raspberry lambic. nothing special at all but at the same time not offensive. i suppose girls would like this.

aroma of very muted, tar general fruit. flavor is ultra dry, similar to schweppes grape ginger ale but with a metallic twang. fruit presents itself like a sports drink, buried and far away and artificial.

If they had left this fine wheat alone, and not raspberried it, it would lack the lovely misty pink-purple haze that gives it a name, but then it might also taste much better.
