Fruit punch, raspberries, blueberries. Wheat and nice tart body. Not much in the front or middle of the beer but ok syrupy fruity finish. Didn’t mind this one. Ok, probably better than average fruit beer.

I don’t drink many fruit beers so I’m not sure how to rate this. Very sweet with a berry flavor that doesn’t blend well with the hops. Tastes artificial. Ok for a summer drink but I’d rather drink a cooler.

12 ounce bottle pours a light reddish orange color with aromas of fake berries, and grain. Flavors are the same, mostly fake fruit, not good in my book, meh.

I basically only got this beer because it was supposed to have a berry flavor, it was there, but not overpowering

Not sure why i am even rating this. I hate fruit beer. But i still feel like i am being fair with this rating. The smell is like artificially flavored candy. The color must be artificial, its is pretty distinctly colored in an alarming sort of way. there is no beer flavor hardly at all. it tasted like berry candy. Sticky, gross feeling on the palate. Bad. give it to your girlfriend

Pours a reddish amber color with a thin head on it. Great cranberry scent that reminds me very much of Ocean Spray. Very strong cranberry taste as well. Drinks rather smooth and has a great taste. I can understand why many BA’s rate this beer rather low as it doesn’t taste anything like a beer and more like a cranberry malternative. No real beer taste here but I enjoyed it. Something great to try this summer!

Pours slightly hazy dark amber-peach with a huge pink-white head. Excellent retention and frothy lace. Blackberry soda aroma dominates any wheat elements. Similar to the shandy. Medium sweet berry flavor. Light-med body, soft carbonation and texture, and a short, sweet finish. Again, this is more fruit juice than beer. No thanks.

12 oz. bottle- Pours brown to berry red with a light pink two finger head. The aroma is all berries, maybe not complex, but it sure smells good. The taste is the same, strong berries, syrupy, very good but can’t drink all day, it becomes too sweet. Body is fairly light and sticky, carbonation is medium. Overall I liked it, more than I thought I would, good summer beer.
