Poured a lavendar color and with an ok head. Raspberries in the aroma, pretty strong. Flavor was obviously of raspberries, but the American wheat grain was pretty strong. Won’t return to this, but it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.

Nice raspberry flavor, pours a light amber. Light, sweet beer to compliment Louisiana summer evenings.

Hazy amber color with a lilac hue and a small white head. Sweet caramel aroma with fruity notes of raspberry and corny notes as well. The flavor was of light fruit and caramel malt. Light to medium body.

This poured light and hazy. The aroma smelled of the raspberry, but the taste was filled with it. It was enjoyable, but overly sweet. Another summer beer.

For an american beer, this is a cross of a Weizen, and a Lambic. Quite a nice falvour! I had this at the LI Beer Fest Friday (Bottle). Recommended to those who like something atypical and sweet.

Bottle purchased at Beer Depot- Pours cloudy orange liquid with a pinkish head that’s rather thin. Strong fruit/berry aromas with some breadiness and sweet malts. Raspberry flavour teams up with a mild bite/bitterness and bread. Spritzy finish. Ok.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber orange. Faint aroma of sweet berry candy. Mild flavors of wheat and raspberry that finishes "crisp" and refreshing. A good summer thirst quencher. What I like about this is that raspberry is not overdone. There is just enough to detect it. For what it is, I like it.
