Bottle: Poured a Hazy golden with not much head at all. The aroma was wheat and berries. The flavor was more of the same. Nothing really interesting about this brew. Just OK.

Cloudy yellow orange color with a thick white head that disappears faster than you can blink your eyes. Aroma of wheat and raspberry puree. Decent lacing. Taste is slightly tart with a bit of fruity sweetness.

bottle: Hazy, straw colored with tiny particles. So there is haze but no trace of purple. Virtually no head. Wheat and faint berry aroma. Light wheat taste with very soft raspberry tones. Can’t say its natural tasting, but its not an unpleasant chemical taste either. An ok beer but not much else to it.

12 oz bottle. Pours golden with a light head. Aroma, hint of raspberry. Taste is raspberry and slightly bitter. Not really an amazing beer. But it’s not all that bad either.

TAP: hazy orange pour, nose is sweet faint raspberry. Taste is thin, some raspberry, and otherwise a fairly run-of-the mill wheat. Not a bad beer, but not a great beer either.

Bottle from BevMo! Pours orange with a fluffy white head. The aroma has light cough syrup style raspberries, rich wheat malt and hints of pepper. It has a light crisp body with frothy, yet somehow sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with the fake medicinal raspberries. The finish is metallic and very uninviting.

Bottled (CK). Hazy dark orange color, small white head. Lightly tart and metallic rasberry aroma. Watery, bland palate. Light fruityness, rasberry seeds flavor, a bit wheaty-grainy. Light sourness, not much, in the finish. Overall very watery and useless.

Bottle. Pours a hazy, orangish color with a large, frothy head. Lacing is okay. Aromas of raspberries, wheat, and a bit of hay. Lively palate to start and then a crisp, clean finish. Taste is wheat at the beginning, raspberry to finish. Okay beer but I would prefer it to have a bit more flavor for my liking.
