I did not enjoy this aroma but I did think that the taste was alright, perhaps too sweet for me.

Not much of an aroma (at least not a bad one), a slightly sweet taste with a rasberry flavor.

No head, cloudy orange. No aroma. Taste is sugary, lollipops. Synthetic rasperry. Some bittering coming through the finish. An alcopop with no point.

Draught. Slightly hazy pinkish color without much head. Definite raspberry nose and flavor. Doesn’t necessarily taste like real raspberries, however. Nice wheat aftertaste. Slightly sweet.

A little sweet for my taste. Drank this in college several times. Has a raspberry aftertaste that I prefer not to have when drinking beer. Like chewing Bubilicious and drinking beer at the same time.

Such a pretty pour, label design, and fragrance, but it finishes light and un-beer-like.

Sep Bier Meisters meeting. 12oz bottle. Tart/sweet raspberry aroma. Cloudy peach color with a small, off-white head. Taste is mild wheat with some light raspberry notes. Not too complex. Re-Rate: Damn-it, I already rated this thing. Had at another BierMeisters meeting. I drank 1/3 of the bottle and no one else would touch it. My rating, this time was: LIght color with unusual purple tint. Raspberry aroma, not much else. Taste is wheat and raspberry. Same scores, except I gave it a 4 for aroma. I’ll leave my original rating and hopefully I will never have this again.

Very Fruity. Pours pinkish-orange with a foamy head. Smells like rasberry candy and the taste is not much different. Nothing special, not even for a fruit beer.
