wickedpete (625), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Dec 29, 2007 Pale gold color and no head formation. The aroma is sweetly of raspberries and little else. Same with the flavor. There is only a hint of wheat beer noticeable through the fake raspberry flavor. Completely one dimensional. I can see this appealing to non beer geeks looking into craft beer for the first time. Nihon (239), Vernon, Connecticut, USA Dec 27, 2007 Aroma is distinctly of raspberries and wheat, color is clear pale yellow. Sweet raspberry flavor, fairly crisp. Average wheat with raspberry thrown in. cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Dec 23, 2007 355ml bottle
4.5% ABV
I tried this beer on October 17, 2007 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a translucent golden-brown into the glass with a thin white head that quickly disappeared. The aroma was very hoppy with a hint of raspberries. The mouthfeel was crisp, medium-bodied with champagne like carbonation. The flavour was similar to the aroma, hoppy with a hint of raspberries. rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Dec 22, 2007 Strong candy like raspberry aroma. Golden color with a mild amount of floaters. Large white head that diminishes but still lingers with minimal lacing. Light body with a sweet raspberry flavor. KawaBomber (193), New Jersey, USA Dec 11, 2007 12oz Bottle from the J Funk: Pours a clear golden hue w/ a tiny ring of white head around the side of the glass. Carbonation is fantastic. Unfortunately I got sidetracked, 15 minutes later...bubbles still dancing, nice. Aroma is all raspberries. Flavor is raspberry w/ a wheaty twang, lively mouthfeel. Okay, I’ve had much better beers of this style though. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA Dec 11, 2007 12 oz bottle as extra in trade from Shadey, thanks! Clear light amber with no head. Aroma is strong tartish raspberry, sweet slight malt, though the lack of grainiess that you normally get in fruit beers is nice. Flavor is actually surprisingly hoppy, and only slight nice raspberry, a little syrupy though, and only a little grainy. Not too bad. Body is medium-thin with no carbonation. Okay, not as bad as people have made it out to be. hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Dec 7, 2007 12 oz bottle. Clear straw color. Aroma is alot of fresh, seedy rasberry and not really anything else. Taste is also fresh rasberry, with spikey carbonation and just traces of malt and/or wheat. I appreciate a fruit beer that wasn’t made from syrup, but other than that not much else going on with this. eaglefan538 (2355), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Dec 7, 2007 Bottle from beastiefan2k, pour was pale golden yellow, little soda pop type looking head, lacing fairly weak - looked like a wheat based blonde ale. Aroma was strong raspberries, light wheat twang. The flavor followed the aroma, a bit too strong of raspberry going on for me, like puree was mixed into the brew (no, not raspberry flavoring or syrup, no that bad!) in many ways. Slight tart notes in the otherwise carbonated finish. I probably would have appreciated this much more in the summer, but this brew could have been better regardless of season with less raspberry presence.
