Cream soda colored, 1 inch off-white head. Raspberry cream aroma. Light fizzy raspberry cream and barley malt taste along with clean water. Light fizzy mouthfeel. Smooth finish. Raspberry seed aftertaste. Pretty damn good beer.

Pours hazy golden with thin off white head. Nose is sweet, wet wheat and raspberry. Go figure. The flavor is not as nice, and a bit bland. It’s very easy drinking, in a Coor’s Light kind of way, but I wouldn’t buy it.

Appearance: Pours a clear, golden body with a slight pinkish tint to it and a very thin white head. Smell: Delicate wheat scent with a distant aroma of raspberries. Pretty straight-forward. Taste: Sweetish wheat malt merges with a taste of tart, fruity raspberries. A couple drop of orange juice. Slight grainy hint. Drying, spritzy finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-high carbonation. Drinkability: Fine enough for a fruity flavored beer if that’s your thing.

THE RASPBERRY FLAVOR IS NOT PROMINENT .ITS A VERY LIGHT TASTING CRISP BEER. THE FLAVOR IS NOT OVERWHELMING AND ITS NICE FOR A SUMMER NIGHT. I THINK ITS EXPENSIVE PRICE TAG MAKES THIS BEER JUST OK.

From a 355 ml. dwarf bottle. Not the typical long neck of micros. There are date notches on the label but mine was not cleaerly notched. Pours a cloudy orange with a little head. Aroma is kind of soapy and grassy. I didn’t notice much of the raspberry in either the aroma or the taste. There were malts in the flavor. In one sense it was a disappointment because it didn’t taste like it should have but it ended up being an okay brew otherwise.
