2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a scant linen white head that disappeared almost instantly and left no lace. No aroma to speak of at all. The flavor is watery raspberry, malt, and just a bit of lemon. Very mild bitterness at the finish. Thin, watery body. Very dull.

This beer poured a hazy, orange color with a medium white head which disappates quickly. Minimal lacing present. The aroma was bready with a hint of raspberry. The taste was weak. The raspberry flavors were bad. It tasted cheap and not well brewed. Like a raspberry preserve. The mouthfeel was medium body with medium high carbonation. Overall I wasn’t impressed with this beer.

Cask at Rattle n Hum: Pours a headless hazy blush color. Has a simple crisp wheaty aroma with a soft acidity and a fairly natural raspberry presence. Slick body. Slightly papery wheat flavor with a mildly tart and natural raspberry presence. No major off flavors, just one dimensional and thin bodied.

A: A lovely reddish pink color with a very small head. Has some bubbles and very minimal lacing. If I was a chick I would call this one pretty.
S: Not much really. There is a hint of raspberry and a hint of funk, which makes me believe it may be tart....hmmm we will see.
T: This one needs soo much more to make the cut. I truly believe they had good intentions with this beer but the problem is they did not produce. There is a tiny bit of raspberry and funky goodness, but I wanted them to bring the raspberry and the funk.
M: Light and Effervescent.... Nothing more though.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Slight rosy tint to the amber pour, topped with a creamy head. Pretty dull label. Nice floral, raspberry aroma, with a bit of standard beery scent too. A light wheat flavor dominates, with a touch of sour citrus, but the raspberry flavor is lacking. Not bad, but there are richer fruit weisse brews out there. Another Clipper City release.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This one was pretty weak all around. Too light and easy to drink. Might be good outside on a hot day.
