1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bubbly, cloudy, yellow-gold with a tall, white head.
Scent is raspberry, wheat.
Taste is wine-cooler raspberry...
The claim is that this is more "beery" than fruity...mmm...not really.
Pretty typical for flavouring...weak, bland.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The one thing I can’t say anything about is the appearance ... I had this straight from the bottle at Green Dot Stables in Detroit. If you haven’t heard of GDS and live in the area, I URGE you to check the place out. Seriously. Asap.
Anyway, the smell of this beer is much like you’d expect. Or maybe not. It’s an ale with some spillings of raspberry in there. But unlike some beers that overwhelm you with the fruit, Dark Horse does it right, and gives you that hop/malt/BEER smell as well.
Taste/feel: Unfortunately I didn’t get to completely enjoy my beer because my friends were pushing me out the door to the casino, but I got a few sips in where I could think if I liked it or not... and I do. I’m not sure what it is, but this beer just doesn’t blow me away like I thought it might. Sure, you get the raspberries, but I couldn’t help but feel "meh" about it. It’s still a very drinkable beer super appropriate for Spring or Summer though, and I’d try another.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This pours a semi-cloudy copper color with a slight beige head. The scent is mostly wheat with some hints raspberries. The taste has more raspberry flavor to it than you would expect from the color and aroma. There is a rush of sweet raspberry flavor that then turns into a strong wheat flavor before finishing kind of dry and chalky. This is a slight step up from Shocktop Raspberry but still has plenty of room for improvement.

draught@Erzbierschof - hazy orange beer with a pinkish hue; strong aroma of raspberries bubblegum and hints of soap; moderate malt body; moderately sweet; long and very buttery finish where the raspberry notes appear even more artificial than in the nose - no-go

Draught from WF Manhattan. Cloudy pour light fruit aroma- a mediocre combo. Nothing special here
