What the hell is this??? It tastes like I’ve been chewing on rose petals. That being said, it is not a bad beer but it’s nothing I’d go out of my way to find again.

Great for the summer....light, easy drinking with a subtle raspberry finish. Not a top choice, but not bad for a fruit beer.

Poured from a bottle. Nice initial head...Has nice carbonation and I like the haze in the glowing brew. Did not smell as sweet as I first thought. This has a real nice aroma, slight raspberry and spice...in the back round I a catching a little tobacco...Nice flavor...again not too sweet, with a nice Rasp. twinge in the end. I have not had many fruit beers...but this is the best I have had thus far.

I had a pint of this on tap at the Crossroads Bar and Grill in Chicago. I was looking through the menus for something that I have not tried and decided to give this a whirl. Poured a deep gold color with a very small white head and just a little bit of carbonation. The aroma was not offensive, but was very bland. It consisted of some light hop (?) character with a small hint of fruit. The taste consisted of some sweet malt with a little bit of fruit taste. I am not sure what fruit it was, but it may have been raspberry. It had a light mouth feel and was very easy to drink. Overall, a refreshing beer on a hot summer day but nothing to get excited about...

The raspberry taste in this one was a little off and sour, although it was clearly present. Lacked some beer qualities and almost made this into a fruit drink with alcohol.

On tap at Pour 24. Not bad wheat beer that tastes of raspberries. Fruit taste is just a hint.

Cloudy peach-colored pint glass, with minimal head. Looks thick but fruity. Light has trouble passing through. The smell is very sweet and fruity raspberry with a mild dry wheat base. Could use a burnt bitter balance. Underwhelming. The taste is very sweet, but the wheat malt does balance it. Tart. Not bad, better as it warms up a bit. Could use more bitterness. Feels creamy with some dry yeast that remains on the tongue. It’s probably too sweet for many repeats but it’s a decent "guilty pleasure" beer.
