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.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus, pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of raspberries and wheat. Flavor is sweet malt, raspberries, and wheat.

Poured from bottle into shaker glass. Hazy apricot- colored body with an off-white head that quickly faded. Aroma was of mild raspberries and had some strange tangy notes. Flavor was weak and of raspberries, but didn’t have much else. One dimensional and boring, but nothing offensive.
