Hazy and salmon-colored. Light body; spritzy carbonation. Nice fruit notes ... a little sweet, a little tart. Gentle malts. Not a whole lot going on, but refreshing -- I will give it that. Aftertaste was a little odd, but not necessarily bothersome.

Tap at Epcot for the Food and Wine Fest. Pours a cloudy orange with a foamy almost soapy head. Nose has hints of berry and citrus but not much else. Taste is very refreshing but extremely weak. Kind of like a very tame Hoeegaarden with a very very very slight hint of raspberry. This could have used just a bit more berry to make it stand out. Cause right now its very much like the AB Shock Top. Refreshing on a hot day but not much else. Nose is better than the taste and the palate is very thin. Decent but I’d not get it again if I had better choices.

This one has a light weat and raspberry scent. I loved the light flavor of raspberry as well, i just wish it was a bit more pronounced. Over all I quite liked it.

355 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy apricot with a decent white head. Fruity raspberry nose. Light spritzy body. Mediocre wheat base with hints of apricot and raspberry. Tad sweet in the finish.

pours a semi-cloudy dark gold with a fleeting thin white head. Aroma is wet straw yeasty aroma, grainy wheat and a hint of berry. Flavour is better than the aroma at least. grainy malt and wheat body, again an earthy yeast flavour and a recognizable rasberry finish. A little thin in the body.
