Bottle: Tart raspberry candy aroma with little else. It pours a transparent gold with a small white head that quickly fades to a spotty film. the flavor is watery raspberry sweetness with some faint grassy bitterness in the finish. Thin fizzy mouthfeel.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head and pale yellow/yellow color. Aroma is lots of raspberry. Taste is first carbonation, then lots of raspberry, some wheat and light/spice hops bite.

12oz bottle drunk at Sunset Grill on 9/25/07
Rapidly dissipating, thin white head tops a sparkling cider-looking body, which is clear. No lacing.
Mild raspberries in the nose, with lots of spring water notes and a little touch of acidity. With the fructose all attenuated, there seems to be very little malt left behind. Some vanilla and light biscuit notes, but nothing substantial. The seltzer water flavored with raspberry parallel is dead-on here.
Watery, fizzy, extremely light-bodied, malt-lacking flavor none-the-less does employ some pleasant raspberry notes, but it’s few and far between. Mostly seltzer water here.

Bottle (12oz). Clear pale gold, small fizzy white head (2+). Light grain and vague sugary raspberry aroma. Tastes like fruit-flavoured medicine, slight stinging carbonation, watery, quick finish and a somewhat harsh aftertaste. Bleh.

Thanks shadey. Pours a pale yellow with no haze. Thick white frothy head. Aroma is one dimensional, sweet raspberry, light malt, grainy/bran aroma. Tastes the same. Upfront sweet raspberry, grains and bran, grassy. The palate is low in carbonation and thin.

Bottle. Aroma is all raspberry and a touch of toast. Poured a light gold almost yellow foamy fizzy head. Flavor wasn’t really much to speak of and kind of a bummer cause it smelled good. Palate was fitting I guess. Overall, I’m done I chugged it.

The color was light golden. The head was thin, white, and fizzy. The aroma was mostly raspberry, cereal, and bran. The flavor was medicinal, raspberry, and tart. I was not fond of the flavor. The palate was thin and the finish, abrupt.

yellowish color with a thin white head. starts with weak wheat, then comes the overpowering raspberry flavor that isn’t very complex or deep like it should be. fake tasting. disappointing - the aroma is pretty nice, but thats about it.
