Bigassfish (140), Naperville/Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 10, 2006 Pours golden yellow with white head. slightly sweet aroma with wheat. I agree with stoutlover72, i’m not sure this is a fruitbeer. I mostly taste wheat with a slight sweetness. I slightly taste rasberries maybe, but i could just be imagining it. this is easy to drink and better than any macro GG (1612), NorCal, California, USA Apr 7, 2006 Not something I buy with any regularity, I found this to be just slightly below average. It really didn’t have much aroma, but what there was, was slightly sweet and not much else. Appearance wasn’t bad, but nothing extraordinary and definitely nothing "purple" about it. Mouthfeel was definitely lighter in body. Flavor was yeasty like a wheat cracker, but I didn’t get anything on the palate that would make me think this had raspberries in it. Perhaps they waved a bucket of raspberries over the fermenter and called it a fruit beer. I don’t know, and don’t care. I didn’t really care for it enough to enjoy nor did I care enough to hate it. mynameisjonas (206), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Apr 6, 2006 very good flavor. nice rasberry kick to it. overall a good beer. even non-beer drinkers like the flavor argo0 (6842), Washington DC, USA Mar 24, 2006 (12oz bottle) Lightly hazed amber body with medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, artificial berry, some tin (that fades as it warms), cereal. Taste is medium sweet, artificial berry, light metallic. Light-medium body with some syrup. michael-pollack (2601), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 24, 2006 12oz. Bottle: Smells of berries and sugar. No noticible hop or malt scent. Just like raspberry jelly. Poured hazy, opaque, amber with shades of purple. Looks a bit like dark grapefruit juice. Large frothy head diminished quickly. No lacing. Tastes like someone stirred raspberry jelly into a wheat beer, rather than having brewed with raspberries. A bit wheaty. Medium sweet. No finish or lasting flavor. Light bodied. Average carbonation. Probobly the only time I will drink this one. labattfreak (58), Coldwater, Michigan, USA Mar 19, 2006 Not much of an aroma, but it was a pretty color. had a really good raspberry flavor. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Mar 15, 2006 bottle - Pours cloudy yellow with a hint of pink. Thin head. Smells lightly of raspberries. The taste is like a bad pale lager with some raspberry flavor. It’s also way too thin. The finish is light and uninteresting, much like the rest of the beer. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA Mar 13, 2006 On tap. Hazy golden color, white head, kind of fizzy. Aroma of light wheat and light raspberry. It really is lacking, kind of seltzerish. No finish. Real light raspberry in the flavor, a little soapy. Light bodied and fizzy. Meh.
