Awful pink lemonade color. The beer does not taste as pink as it looks. Reasonably dry pleasant rasberry flavor. I don’t get much honey. Pretty decent beer for a style I have little interest in.

Tap @ brewpub: Cloudy pink lemonade color with a white head and sticky lacing. Light raspberry aroma with a little tang. It’s ok for a fruit beer and not too sweet like some.

on tap downtown. Looks like a zinfindel with a head. Sweet raspberry aroma, but not sickeningly so. Extract brewed, but not awful, as so many are. good, unexpected, hop and malt presence. best-tasting burps ever.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a pale, cloudy, pink grapefruit juice color with a thin whitish head. The nose is a mellow raspberry that leans towards the sweet versus tart/sour side of the flavor/aroma spectrum, and it is devoid of the soapy extract note I’ve gotten from many other brewpub raspberry brews. Light bodied and thin with super-soft (almost flat) carbonation and zero finish. This is a super clean and quaffable fruit beer. The flavor follows the nose with not much more going on. I detect no honey whatsoever, but what this brew lacks in flavor and/or complexity it makes up for in drinkability; not a bad raspberry brew.

Draft sample at Upstream Old Market. Poured clear amber color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate raspberry aroma. Medium body and soft carbonation. Medium raspberry sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Average fruit beer.
