Swill tasting with Muzzlehatch and Tiggmtl. Oh boy do I remember this one! I feel bad that I will have to concede a point in appearance because it did have a rosyish, light pink sort of color. Other than that, this may have just taken over my number one least favorite beer spot, knocking off my three way tie between Genny Cream, Natty Ice and Beast Ice. I thoroughly dislike making blanket statements, as if I know something better than others do, but I have to say, anyone who says this "isn’t that bad" is full of shit. This is fu**ing horrendous. If you can even get to the flavor through the intensely sharp and biting carbonation, you will find a disgusting mix of cheap, plasticy, artificial raspberry syrup, high fructose corn syrup and stale, offensive, sour evil things. Ahhhhh, just thinking about it makes me quiver. Giving it a one for flavor and palate does not even begin to do it justice.

From memory, one of the worst alcohol drinks I’ve had. Tasted like ginseng and guarana with a little beer taste in it, not good.

Man this beer was so popular for a while. Haven’t seen it in quite.a while. Beer is decent for an energy beer. Actually kinnda tastes like beer unlike sparks

Caffeine and beer, what a great mix. Tastes like a watered down energy drink.

10 ounce bottle from Dec 2006. Pours a slightly murky golden color with a clingy, thin, white head that lasts. Lots of carbonation that lasts. Aroma is of raspberry and fruit. The aroma reminds me of their Michelob fruit beers and their Wild Blue. Taste is of raspberry and Budweiser. Slightly sweet and slightly tart. The alcohol is hidden well. Has a slick, oily body that coats the mouth. Very easy to drink and is rather enjoyable. Is like a better version of the Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry. I was expecting worse, but I am pleasantly surprised. I would consider drinking this again if I could get it here.

can, pours pale gold, next to no head. Aroma is energy drink, just like red bull. Flavor is almost all sweet energy drink, little to no beer flavor in the background. No thanks.

pale clear gold, miniscule white head, no lace. nose of redbull energy drink. flavor of red bull energy drink. really cloyingly sweet raspberry-like flavor. dreadful. watery mouthfeel, inconcievably sweet finish. avoid at all costs if you value your sphincter (not sure what that last bit means, but it is what i wrote in my notes).

I hate Red Bull and I hate Bud Light. I should have known that the two together would result in this disaster. No surprise that I didn’t get an energy boost.

Oh man. I got this and didn’t realize until after the first sip and a look at the can that it’s raspberry flavored. This stuff SUCKS. Too sweet, tastes like crap, and doesn’t even do what it says.

Not sure why I’m rating this but, oh well, what the heck here goes... Looks like somebody’s piss after hydrating for a couple of hours. Smells like a Redbull. I can barely pick up any traces of beer. Taste is mostly like an energy drink. The only reason I gave this a 2.1 and not a lower score is because I like Redbull.

Can as shown. Pours a pale golden with a frothy white head that diminishes quickly. A lot of carbonation and bubbles. The aroma is a fruity rasberry and redbull. The taste is an overpowering rasberry and sour finish. More like a wine cooler than a beer. Not much going on with this one but the novelty of a energy drink beer.
