| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jan 4, 2008 This would be the perfect beer to get someone into beer who doesnt like beer. In saying that it probably wont appeal to real beer drinkers. All I taste is an artificial/natural raspberry flavor if thats possible. Dont get me wrong this is a decent beer, just not for me. wickedpete (626), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | 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 (240), Vernon, Connecticut, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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 (440), Milton, Ontario, Canada

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 (914), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | 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
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | 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
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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 (1954), Boonton, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | 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.
