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.

Pours a hazy goldish amber color. Aromas of berries and wheat bread. Flavor of raspberry and a sweetness. Medium body with a berry aftertaste.

12oz bottle, best consumed by February 23. Wonderful. Anywho, pours a purple straw yellow with a tiny purple off-white head. Aroma is of Froot Loops and--there’s no other way to describe this--vomit. Taste is definitely wheat, with some tart raspberries coming in, following into a sweet finish. Light carbonation. Thank god it didn’t taste how it smelled. Probably need to rerate this when I get a fresher bottle.

Cloudy orange body, thin off-white head. Tangy wheat aroma, some bitter earthy elements, and light raspberry. Flavor is tangy and somewhat soapy with wheat and light raspberry; this beer reminds me of a raspberry-flavored sparkling water. Weak body, highly carbonated.

Orange and hazy in appearance with very white creamy head. You can really smell the raspberries- the problem is that it reminds me of a wine cooler. The taste is the same- too much raspberries not enough beer. A little chalky feeling, but very drinkable.
