Light hazy amber color; light raspberry character in the nose. Watery, thin, artficial fruity/wheat flavors, refreshing and reasonably tasty but dull and probaly not to be tried again. I didn't find this too sweet.

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 very dense white head tops a cloudy and golden body. Aroma has lemons and a touch of the raspberries. The taste was definitely raspberries with a refreshing wheat finish. I actualy like this more than most American wheats. A nice summer brew. Funny that I like this so much considering that I detest cherry wheats.

Hazy golden hue with small head and minimal lacing. Some wheat aromatics with an very minor raspberry hint. Weird taste, almost sour and spicey, no real hop or malt characteristics to be found. Very acidic finish. Watery and fizzy mouthfeel. Not recommended unless severely drunk at Mardi Gras while in Nawleans.

From a 12-oz bottle shared with joebrew, pours a murky grayish brown brew with a spritzy off white head that dissolves quickly to a thin film and ring. Aroma of light sour berries, light multi-grain malt with something that reminded me of Haley’s M-O. Taste is highly carbonated, light with a distinct flavor of watered down blueberries and raspberries. Finish is slightly tart at first and then flat.

Bottled. Poured hazy medium golden with a short-lived white head and some stuff suspended in there. The aroma picked up a painful dose of artificial raspberries with a wheaty backing.. sweet, but for all the wrong reasons.. not very good. Wheat and raspberry tartness in the flavor department with the same artifical sweetness.. higher carbonation fills the mouth, and it still isn’t very good. Lighter-bodied and tart, with an overall stale feel. Blech.

Hazy amber color with a lilac hue and a small white head. Sweet caramel aroma with fruity notes of raspberry and corny notes as well. The flavor was of light fruit and caramel malt. Light to medium body.

Bottle (12oz). Poured cloudy pink-orange with a soapy lasting vaguely pinkish-white head. Aroma is vague sour strawberry-raspberry jam - there’s some unpleasant vegetal nastiness that appears as it warms from absolute zero. Taste is wheaty grain with vague raspberry Snapple notes. Mouthfeel is ... well, I dunno - creamy and sugary? Avoid this one.
