Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, average head. Tart raspberry aroma. Dryish, light and clean. Though simple it’s drinkable and refreshing. No bitterness. A well made beer in a pointless style.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) A raspberry-wheat beer from Louisiana! Oh yes, it had to come. Has the typical wheaty haze with some sediment. Orangey with a slight reddish tint and a good head. Quite dry and only a hint of sweetness from the fruit. Actualy quite refreshing.

Light amber; refreshing, but artificial raspberry character. Standard stuff.

Score: ii to iii

opaque pink, fine thin white head, light sweet raspberry aroma that reaches your nose before you reach for the glass, light sweet flavor, well balanced between the raspberry and wheat characer, nicely refined over the years

(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.
