On draft at Big Bear. Pours clear straw yellow with a a white head. Nose is raspberry, bread, and honey that fades slightly as the beer warms. Flavor is very light- berry up front, bread and wheat mid, and light berry finish. Light-bodied and very good for a style that I don’t really care for.

Poured up on tap at the Big Bear brewpub with clear gold body and small lumpy white head. The mild aroma offers up thin layers of berry fruitiness and then it fades away to very little. Additional pulls bring up virtually no aromatics. The taste has up front raspberry juice sweetness where the inherent berry tartness is being tamed by a modest layer of honey like sweetness. It picks up brief moments of wheat to grainy notes from time to time.

Draft at brewpub. Hazy pale in the glass with a creamy white head that settled to a ring and left good lace. Raspberry aroma. The flavor found wheat and raspberry. Medium body and a berry aftertaste.

Draft… Hazy light yellow ale with a mid-sized, fluffy, white head. Excellent retention. The aroma is mainly pale malt and raspberries – sort of artificial, but not unpleasant. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. The flavor provides a nice, artificial raspberry sweetness. Finishes fruity and sweet.

Oh yeah. after almost a week of no beer this is a godsend. Smell is heavy on the raspberry as is the taste which mixes well with crisp malts and some hops. very clean, very tangy, and quite crisp and tingling in the mouth. kind of a light body.
