More proof that a good fruit beer is hard to come by. Fakey raspberry smell and flavors. Not overpowering raspberry just not very good.

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.

Tinted hazy color. Medium head. Raspberries in the aroma, not too strong. Light taste, rasperries dominating. Palate is a little thin and it finishes soft.

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

Bottle, best by 08-22. Pale burnt orange, slightly cloudy with a medium head that lasts. Aroma is sour raspberry, strawberry, and honey. Taste is like a raspberry soda mixed with a lot of dry yeast to dampen the sweetness. Palate is light-medium and soapy-dry, with a slight acidic tingle. Better than an industrial lager, but unique is about the best you can say about this one. I like raspberries, but it seems a bit too artificial and perfume-like in this beer.

Trix are for kids...NOT for beer. This is so nasty. It has a bad lager and Trix cereal nose and taste. Don't go near this one. One of the worst I've tried!

Simply horrible. What happened here. This beer is just so fruity that it is impossible to taste wheat,malt, hops, or even water.
