| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 9, 2009 Bottle at the LCBO - Pours typical golden with a white, fast-fall head. The aroma is just straight up raspberry, which I actually like quite a bit. The taste tastes more along the lines of beer, but there’s still a hint of raspberry. Slight wheat notes with good amount of sweet malts. Ends off with a clean and smooth motuhfeel. I like it! fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy

Quite artificial candy aroma, peach; sweetish; asparagus (?). Light mouthfeel, bad Lager with artificial flavoring. Bad. Rciesla (3604), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Aug 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Wheat with some berry notes, a bit sweet with an artificial raz character. Eh not so good. To candy like. FlssmrBrewAlum (1116), Lisle, Illinois, USA

12 oz bottle from Siciliano’s and our trip to Michigan. Pours a straw yellow, a bit light hazed, bright white soapy head that dies to a small layer, laces some. Aromas are tart raspberries, a bit artificial, potent though. Some flaked wheat underneath, but the raspberries take over on the nose. Initial is more mellow, with flaked wheat and raspberry puree mixing together, underlying berry sweetness and tartness, nothing overbearing (like the aroma originally made it feel like). This is a pretty good fruit wheat, with good raspberry flavors, without becoming cloying or too muted. Strikes a balance as far as fruit wheats are concerned. Still, it is what it is and tasted a bit artifical further in. obguthr (1014), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Lemon and raspberry aroma. Hazy yellow, no head. Tastes of raspberry and stale malt. Parsley finish. This is not one of ST’s better offerings. ChrisThomson (393), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jul 29, 2009 Bottle. Not a terrible beer, but nothing I would want to try again. Big raspberry nose, and flavour is sweet, mild malts, acidic notes and more raspberry. Nothing to get excited about here. probstk (1027), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 23, 2009 355 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Slightly hazy golden with minimal white head.
Aroma: Plenty of raspeberry, some artificial, some real, a bit jammy, some light metallic notes, a bit of wheat and grass, that’s about it!
Palate: Medium body, moderate to full effervescence.
Flav.: The raspberry is again a mix of artificial candy and real raspberry fruit and jam, still some light malts from the wheat, no metallic notes; dry with a touch of bitterness and a light toasted malt finish with some subtle raspberry.
Well, it isn’t horrid, but I wouldn’t drink much of it. GRM (1254), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada
