One of the better fruit beers I’ve had actually. Looks like grapefruit juice, smells like grapefruit juice, and kind of tastes liek grapefruit juice as well. Bitter, with a mix of raspberries, grapefruit, and lemons. The wheat flavor isn’t as apparently as I thought it would be, which ends up being a good thing. What I really liked about this beer is that it wasn’t sticky or overly sweet. The bitter, tart, dry character was a nice change for a fruit beer. Nice!

does not count  Jul 26, 2008 Had this last season in a plastic cup at Victory Field. Pink with light pink head. (You can tell at a distance which women have discriminating tastes.) Smells of raspberries. Tastes of tart raspberries. Not sweet at all. Not malty. Effervescent.
My favorite raspberry beer because it’s fresh and dry and not sticky sweet.

Jun 8, 2008 On tap at the Oaken Barrel on 3/9/08. Pours a cloudy darkish pink color with a thin pink-tan head. Aroma is strong fruit raspberry and strawberry. Flavor: sour, tart, strong notes of raspberry with a quick watery finish.

May 27, 2008 Hazy pink with a quickly disappearing white head. Aroma of raspberries and yeast. Flavor is of very mild raspberries with a slightly tart astringent finish. Very malty and bland to go with a lively carbonation feel. Just not a good effort for a fruit beer.

Apr 29, 2008 12 oz. bottle: pours cloudy dark ruby, reminded me of fresh squeezed fruit juice -- in appearance, not taste. Got the raspberry smell from this, but it wasn’t strong or overpowering, in fact, it was quite faint. Medium carbonation, tell-tale wheaty malt taste. Tastes of sweet raspberry flavor, but subsides to a very nasty unpleasant bite. This isn’t my sort of thing.
