I am typically not a fruit beer guy, but this one was delicious! The berry flavor is so fresh and blended perfectly with the hops and malts. Yum!

On tap at a wedding. Pours a dark reddish hue, clear, with a thin tan head. The aroma is mostly sweet berries and some light grain. Quite a surprising flavor with tart fruit alongside more common light berries and earthy malts. Not sure what to make of this, it comes in between a Berliner and a light Hefe with fruit, very good. Lots of wheat.

12 oz. Bottle. Refreshing summer berry brew. Raspberry scent with light grain. Cloudy gold pour with a white ring and very little head. Light body with a fizzy texture. Sweet berry taste then a tart flavor kind of like kool aid at times.

12oz bottle poured into glass. I was pretty jazzed when I saw this on the shelf at my local beer store. Had hopes that it might be somewhat sour and/or tart. However it fell short. The raspberries are very alive and well but no sourness.

I know from first-hand sources that the berries are fresh ---- the pulp clogged the bottling filter lines the first few runs according to my source. Crisp and refreshing, even under the gray skies of Pittsburgh.

Hey! I expected ratings for this to be much higher. This is a tasty little weissbier, berried - but not buried - and sweet. Ain’t I funny. Almost no head, the color of fruit punch, plenty of wheaty residual goodness. It’s very enticing to look at. I like it!

Bottle. Pours a pinkish brown with a thin white head and leaves no lacing. Fairly big raspberry on the nose. Fruity taste. A bit dry. All and all a bit one note though not bad for the summer.

Pinkish purple, whitish cover. Aroma is mixed berries, very sweet. Taste is light caramelized malts, lots of blackberry, raspberry mix. Nice fruit beer.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a medium cherry color with a pink hue. Obviously filtered. Aroma was muted, not much at all really. Flavor, however, was excellent mild cherry and strawberry with some grassiness and slight citrus. Palate was almost perfect with a good amount of acidity, great carbonation, and nothing cloying about this beer at all. Surprisingly drinkable.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark red-tan color with a large foamy beige head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was light tangy sugar and vague berry. The flavor was tart and tangy with a vague berry and sugar presence. The finish was medium length berry and sugar. Medium body. Disappointing.
