This is a cool beer. Pours pinkish and fizzy. Strong raspberry aroma. Tastes like raspberries, with some malt and hops. Finishes sweet, crisp, and fizzy. I think this is a fine beer, but I understand why people may rate it lower, as it is somewhat odd and unique in its formulation.

Really enjoyed this one. A nice balance of the flavors - not too sweet. I found it to be a perfect summer beer.

Great raspberry aroma and neat reddish pink color, but that’s about it. Way too sweet and cloying. Has a surgary soda-pop sweetness to it. Makes me wonder if they add raspberry flavoring rather than ferment with fresh raspberries. Didn’t care for this one.
