expected more of a soda pop like quality, was pleased that it had more of a honey taste that actually had a brew behind it. sweet yet a bit sour, if that makes sense, i enjoyed this one

12 oz bottle from Beastiefan2K; Nose of fresh raspberries; clear gold with a heavily glass-lacing, one-finger white head; flavor has raspberries, but no wheat character. Worst of all the ST beers I’ve had, kind of like fruit pop flavor!

Very nice raspberry smell, not artificial. Tons too much head, almost insurmountable. Color is very light gold with specks of stuff floating around. Tastes a little sour a lemony, tart. Flavor is well, watery with a hint of raspberry but overalll, just unpleasant. Nothing too offensive, but I will not be returning to this beer.

12 oz. bottle - Pours a clear light golden color with a large white head. Carbonation is very lively. Very light lacing. Aroma is Raspberries and light soap. Flavor is watered down raspberries. Thin body. The active carbonation is quite lively on the palate. After tasting so many good Southern Tier beers, this one was a let down. Still, worth a try.

Pours yellow, with a white head. Aroma is sweet raspberries, but kind of artificial. Flavor is raspberries and wheat, but not very beer like. Thin palate.

I’m a Cancer and my turn-offs include the words "malt beverage." I really prefer the word "beer." Why the "malt beverage" phrase is on the product confuses me. I wish my wife were around when I popped it open; she might’ve enjoyed it more than me. It is very fruity and not very beery. Its flavor reminded me of a Clearly Canadian wine cooler. Appearance was good, as it is for all Southern Tier beers I’ve had. It is a pale yellow which was clear and sparkling. Head was plentiful but a tiny-bubble industrial-looking type. Aroma was very fruity, and the flavor was like a wine cooler. Mouthfeel was unremarkable, but this "flavored beverage" was not for me.

Bottled. Poured clear, bright golden with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma was all about the raspberries.. seeds and meat with tangy wheat notes and bland pale malts beneath.. pleasant with a decent fruit usage. The flavor had some pale malts, wheat tartness, and less useful raspberry additions (provided an airy essance at the back, but no real substance during the drink).. kind of stale and ugly at the end. Light-bodied, tacky, and a bit stale on the palate.. this started out alright, but went downhill from there.

Bottle. Light straw body, white head, raspberry nose. Starts with raspberry, watery in the middle, nasty astringent finish. No malt, hop or wheat character.
