12 oz bottle-thanks Glenn-offwhite-pink. A-fruit, lt malt. T-sweet fruit-some lemon/grapefruit soda, 2nd lt malt.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours pink tinged amber with a slightly pinkish head. Smells rather like koolaid being mixed. It’s fairly thin. Tastes dusty. Flavor is mild lemon and mixed berry. Strange finish.

Draft. Poured hazy reddish yellow color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasting with fair lacing. Good lemon and berry aroma. Medium body with a smooth thick texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet lemonade flavor with medium sweet finish of moderate duration. This sweet beer met my expectations.

Bottle poured a hazy pinkish amber with a lingering ring of pinkish foam. Aromas of cookie, lemon and berry. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, lemon and light berry with a crisp lemon finish.

Bottled. Poured an unappealing shade of hazy pink with a dense, well-retained off-white head. The aroma picked up lemon rind, salt, and blackberries over a weak base of earthy wheat.. some artificial sweetener character.. smelled like it was going to be refreshing. The flavor found watery wheat at the core with sweet lemon-lime juice, tart blackberry seeds, and salt throughout.. refreshing, fairly sweet finish. Light-bodied with moderate, spritzy carbonation on the palate.. not beery, but overall refreshing and very drinkable.

12 ounce bottle from a Kroger. Pours a hazy pinkish orange color with a large frothy white head. Decent head retention. Tart lemon aroma with hints of zest and berry. The taste is strawberry Starburst with a tart lemon finish. Faint hints of grain. It’s tasty, but in no way resembles beer.

Bottle. Lemon, blackberry, and malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Sweet-tart lemon and berry malt flavor. Light bitter finish. Not bad.

Bottled, cloudy yellow with no head, aroma and flavor of Fruity artificial sweetener, light thin finish

11/6/12. 12oz bottle from Publix. Goofy pink pour with a small off-white head. Fruity, berry and lemon aroma that really reminds of berry lemonade. The flavor is much the same, almost juice- or soda-like... lots of berry and lemon in there. I can’t say this is exactly what I’m looking for in a beer, but for what it is... it delivers.

Draft. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Lemon and raspberry with a grainy base and a spritzy mouthfeel. Not bad.
