| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Nov 3, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear yellow with a one finger white head. Aroma of raspberry jolly ranchers. Flavor was bubbly with some tart fruity notes. bubbleflubber (892), Collinsville, Virginia, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 2, 2008 Pours straw yellow into the glass, with a soda-esque head that goes away quickly. The aromas of candied cherries and raspberries are, again, picked up in the means of a fruity soda. Very underdone macro wheat, corn and grain notes lie underneath a fruity seltzer. The mouthfeel is almost overcarbonated, letting any residual flavors and the entire finish die an untimely death. Without invoking the ’’Zima’’ name, it honestly reminds me of a raspberry seltzer.... not great for a brew. BMan1113VR (2818), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Bottle from ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a white head, clear yellow body. Aroma of jolly ranchers, raspberries and berry syrup. Taste is watery with wheat and a bit of berry syrup...so water. Fizzy and watery... ilovedarkbeer (1338), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Yellow orange color. Small to medium sized fizzy off white head. Tastes spritzy, and seltzer like with some back end raspberries and water. I did not expect it to be good but it’s not offensive. beerbill (1946), Laurel, New York, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 24, 2008 I was in Albany yesterday and had an hour in between meetings and went to a deli to grab something for lunch and spotted this in the cooler. 12 oz. clear bottle. Pours a clear gold with a sudsy white head that actually held through the first third of the glass and left patchy lace. The aroma isw very reminiscent of raspberry soda, not unpleasant, just not very beer-like. The flavor is less alca-pop than the aroma with some mild malt along with the raspberry. I did not detect any of the pomegranate in either the aroma or the flavor. No real bitterness to speak of at the finish. Thin and watery mouthfeel. Better than the regular Michelob Ultra, but then again, that’s not saying much. omhper (12180), Stockholm, Sweden
| 0.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 2/20 | Oct 17, 2008 Bottled. Very pale yellow, no head. Artificial marachino aroma followed up by plastic and saccharine. Then glue and DrPepper takes over for a while before it mercifully fades out in a swamp of raspberry syrup. God help me. alexanderj (2244), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 9, 2008 Bottle courtesy of my mom. Poured a clear, light gold color not much white head. Aroma of raspberry, and thats about it. Essence of fruit in the flavor; not too pronounced actually. Some breadiness in the middle to the finish. Lingering after taste of nothing. Not terrible and at least its not a High Life. Not as good as the Tuscan Orange. baggio (195), norrtälje, Sweden

Apperance: Yellowish with a small head.
Aroma: Fruits, Marsipan, Cherries. Very chemical and un-natural.
Flavor: Dr.Pepper mixed with a bit of water anyone ? Raspberry, Caramel, Artificial sweeteners.
Palate: Just dry and boring. Very sweet.
This is more like a soda than a beer and should be avoided.
