More raspberry than wheat (unfortunately) with a gold color, no hop at all, and a sugary finish. Aroma was to be desired for a fruit beer, almost non-existent. Two sips may give you a hangover headache to regret.

Bottled. Great smell, but a taste like raspberry sparkling water with an intial beer taste. Goes down like water too, not satisfying, and not very fruity. Was enjoyable once I accepted it was more of a very carbonated raspberry juice, and it got better as it warmed up.

Sample at OD Brewfest. Okay looking. Sweet raspberry aroma. Syrupy overdone raspberry flavor, barely any wheat flavor, too thin. Not terrible, but nothing great.

I really did like this beer, but not beacause it tasted like beer. It actually tastes like sparkling raspberry water with a hint of beer. I liked it.

Pours amber/read with smallish white head. Nose reminds me of berry Kix. Flavor is the same with a berry flavor mixed with wheat. Rather wan flavor. Not a lot of character.

Bottle, acquired from Hogtown Harry/ Pink grapefruit like orange, small white head, lots of streaming bubbles. Vague berry like aroma, rather muted. Decent raspberry taste, some malt to back it up, although a bit thin. Doesn’t finish well, astringent fruit seed like finish. Thin to medium body. Not a bad summer quencher as far as these things go.

Dark amber reddish color. Not much of a head. Has a smell of berries and malt. Taste of berries and sweet malt with a hint of wheat and grass. Finishes with a bite at the end. I like this beer.
