Bottle shared with blankboy, HogTownHarry, jerc and tupalev - courtesy of jerc. Ruby-pink colour with a small head. Candy/berry aroma with some malt in the background. Body is quite thin and watery, and the flavour is bland - there’s some berry flavour in there if you look for it, but it’s pretty subtle and stale. Reminded me of the KLB Raspberry Wheat. I can’t believe the same brewer responsible for the Yeti could make this boring concoction.

Heavy raspberry aroma. Very light beer. Sweet flavor but not too much to it. A nice lighter beer.

Pored into pint glass. Poured nice frothy head with color dark brown / copper. Raspberry ice tea is the nose. Truly fruity with heavy flavors of eating fresh raspberries. Some bitter malt there too for a good balance. Not bad!

part of a mix pack. foggy light red/pink color. aroma was pretty nice raspberry and the taste was of the kind but set off with a good balance of wheat and real beerness. Refreshing and light fruitiness.

Pours a caramel red color with a thick head if poured with gusto. Head quickly dissipates leaving only thin leftovers. The smell is off. A little sour, definite malt characters and slight mark of hay. The taste leaves little to be excited about. I couldn’t get over the awful metallic taste which i awesome was supposed to be a shot at rasberries. I first starting drinking this freezing cold. As it warms the smells become a lot more pleasant and the rasberries are very distinct, taste remains unpleasant though. I wanted to like it because the rest of Great Divides selection has really impressed me.

(12oz bottle) Pours a deep reddish brown body with small off-white head. Aroma of raspberries, sugar, and wheat. Flavor of raspberries, wheat, and caramel with a somewhat dry finish.

12 oz bottle pours a redish color with a nice white head. Aromas of raspberry, bigtime. medium bodied with raspberries in the taste. Almost too much

UPDATED: MAY 3, 2012 Aroma of raspberries and a little citrus. Pours reddish amber with an off white head. Taste is very sweet with raspberry and fruit juice.

Pours a ruby/orange haze with a short-lived off white finger of head. Smells fresh - soft fruits, crisp greens, smells like spring. Taste nearly mirrors the nose. Very subtle tartness that comes with the fruit. A very approachable, balanced fruit beer. Don’t mind getting a few of these in a mixer.

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown with a puffy white head. Aroma is full of raspberries. The taste is fruity and full of carbonation. This is not a fruit beer i’d recommend.

Bottle. Orange/pink pour with a white head that dissipates quickly. Nose was actually quite mild - lager with a hint of raspberry. Palate is a tad thin. Taste was dull - kind of flat, raspberry didn’t really pop out at all. I’m wondering how old this bottle is.
