From notes - not a huge fan. Full pour appearing hazed red/ruby grapefruit color. Nose was fruity sweet, very raspberry, too sweet. Flavor wasn’t as pleasant either - sugar water, overly fruity, light raspberry, mild wit notes with plenty of candy sugar. Next time around, I’ll pass.

11.2oz bottle, poured in a snifter. Labeled "Framboise". Whoa, big raspberry flavor here, nice. Juicy and authentic-tasting, nice if that’s what you want. Soft, moderate carbonation. Sweet taste, as expected. Clear orange-red color that raspberry ales often have. White head with a light pink hue, some dots of lace. Beer nerds might frown on this brew. But at the time, I wanted a raspberry-fruit beer, and this hit the spot.

UPDATED: NOV 4, 2012 Bottle my wife bought. Poured into pint glass a cloudy pink color, white head. Aroma of raspberry. Taste is sweet and carbonated, almost like carbonated fruit juice. Medium body. More wine cooler to me then beer. Not my thing.

Appears tache, a blush of pink which is also evident in the head - white but as it subsides it leaves an impression of pinkish. The aroma is reminiscent of crushed raspberries and turkish delight, roses and candy sugar. Almost medicinal in stages. A full fluffy marshmallowy mouthfeel and plenty of sweetness for this beer. Ideal for dessert. Raspberries, strawberry juice and pinky girly stuff. That doesn’t mean to say that it cannot complement good food, but on its own it is a bit of a novelty but no more.

Can from Total Wine Tucson. Pours pink with an inch of white foam that leaves no lacing. big raspberry on the nose. taste feels like they added some sort of artificial sweetner . It’s very offputting.

Tasted on tap. Very strong raspberry aroma. Raspberry color. Lots of carbonation and almost no head. Overwhelming raspberry flavor, tastes more like a fruit soda. Too sweet for a beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours cloudy pinkish gold with a small pinkish white head and some lacing. Aroma is all raspberry, pretty genuine. Taste is sweet raspberry, not as sweet as lindemanns, but pretty sweet nonetheless. Notes of wheat and a bit of tartness present to give some character.

Pinkish head over hazy strawberry-peach body. Aroma of artificial raspberry. Taste of artificial raspberry, slightly bitter, high carbonation. Vague, fake tasting palate.

Bottle sample. Cloudy pink color, small pinkish head. Sweet and artificial aroma of bubblegum and candy. Super sweet flavor of fruit juice, to the verge of cloying. Light body, highly carbonated, hardly drinkable.

Bottle sample at a tasting in our place. Thanks beerandbeyond (and Y.D). Pours grapefruit pink, cloudy with a big white head. Smells of raspberry concentrate and artificial grapefruit. Tastes sweet and artificial, no sign of beer whatsoever. Light body, abrupt fruit drink finish. Quite nasty.
