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.

bhensonb (8991) - Woodland, California, USA - MAY 21, 2007
Medium raspberry aroma. Hazy orange gold color with no real head. Starts with weak raspberry. Weak body, pumped up a bit as the fizziness fizzes. Weakly sweet. Finish is rather weak raspberry seed. Overall it’s fairly refreshing. Likely to be good around the pool.

A hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, chemical powdered fruit extracts, light acidic points. In mouth, a light fruity wheat with light lactic points, summer quaffer, boring. Bottled at ROC Empire Brewfest, Feb. 19 2011.

hopscotch (8215) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 18, 2003
Very light, hazy, straw-colored brew. Quickly dissipating, fizzy white head. The nose is of yeast, raspberries, banana and apricot. Lightly floral and interesting. Lightly malty flavor. Tangy with plenty of fresh raspberries and traces of fuzzy fruit. Well-balanced and fairly thin with a touch of honey. Light-bodied with a fizzy, dry mouthfeel. Very refreshing late Summer beer.

courtesy of oh6gdx - fully cloudy orange colour with a moderate head retention; aroma of hay and raspberries, sweet with a hint of acidity; moderate malt body, gentle finish of raspberries with some residual sugars - boring

Travlr (7984) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - JUL 24, 2009
Bottle at Norfolk (US) beer festival. Dark maroon, scant tan head. Mild fruit aroma, fairly plain flavor, decent malt and sweetish raspberry, inadequately balanced. OK, but not great.

hopdog (7652) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 19, 2004
On tap. Poured a cloudy golden color with a small head. Nothing too special - aroma and tastes of raspberries and wheat. Light and bland tasting. I’ll pass on this in the future.
