Had on draft at the brewery in Napa in June. Pours a pale yellow with lots of bubbly. Taste is very very light on the palate, not much flavor, some backround raspberry flavor but not dominating or offensive. I actually found this one to be kinda refreshing given the head and my meal (fajita salad...really really good). Usually I don’t like raspberry beers much but this one I found enjoyable since they let the raspberry add to the beer without taking it over. That said, it is kinda watery, but you need that a little sometimes.

Tap at the brewpub in Napa. Mostly clear light orange pour wih a nice white head. I’m a total sucker for the fruit beer aroma - raspberry in this one. Taste is a bit more like artificial raspberry and a tad watery.

I had this at the brewpub in downtown Napa. for what it’s trying to be: a light bodied beer with a raspberry flavor, it does a good job.

Light clear p inkish yellow with no head. Raspberry aroma and taste with a dry finish.
