Bottle purchased at Beer Depot- Pours cloudy orange liquid with a pinkish head that’s rather thin. Strong fruit/berry aromas with some breadiness and sweet malts. Raspberry flavour teams up with a mild bite/bitterness and bread. Spritzy finish. Ok.

Bottle. Poured cloudy amber with small rocky head. Aroma was wheat with sweet fruit tone and the flavor was much the same with sweet finish.

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.

This smelled like berries, but no taste. This was lacking all around. There was nothing compelling , and, I was disappointed.

Hmmm. Another fruit beer -- this one has been around a while, too. Doesn’t appear that different from a pale lager in the glass. Aroma is convincingly of raspberries, and these smell fresh, as opposed to the syrupy nature of some fruit brews. Also some grains and mustiness. Taste is less pleasing, bright raspberries are in there, but the wheat and the beer taste stale. I miss hops when I drink this.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a slightly hazy ripe apricot colored beverage with a small fizzy head that dissipated within two minutes and left almost no lacing on the glass. The aroma was dominated by fairly strong sweet raspberry fruit notes. There wasn’t much else that could be detected through that. The body was light with fizzy carbonation and a watery texture. The flavor started out lightly sweet and dominated by raspberry. This quickly changed to a pleasantly dry light tartness that lasted through to the finish which was medium in length and left a light alcohol warmth on the back of the throat.

Pours red with a white head. Smells of raspberries and syruppy. Tastes of syrup, some wheat. Not one of their better beers.

Pours golden yellow with white head. slightly sweet aroma with wheat. I agree with stoutlover72, i’m not sure this is a fruitbeer. I mostly taste wheat with a slight sweetness. I slightly taste rasberries maybe, but i could just be imagining it. this is easy to drink and better than any macro
