1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20 TheJester (1230) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 28, 2009
250 mL bottle. (bb 16/01/10). Cloudy pink-orange with a small pinkish head. Strong aroma of wheat, sweet raspberries, powdered sugar, and wet hay. Flavour is . . . wow . . . unwholesomely sweet. Lots of raspberry, but lots of sugar. Not tart enough by far. And the sweetness sticks to your mouth and won’t go away. Totally unnecessary. Another swing-and-a-miss by the LCBO.

A clear pink colored beer with a thick white/pink head. The aroma is predominating by artificial fruity sweet. Notes of raspberries. The taste is also very sweet, sticky and watery. There is almost no aftertaste.

250 ml can thanks to footbalm, bought somewhere in Boise. Pours a clear pink-amber color with a decent medium foamy head. The aroma is full of sugary sweet fruit and berries. The flavor is mostly berries and lots of sweetness. Lightly sour as well. Frankly, not horrible but a gimic.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 ChainGangGuy (3685) - Canton, Georgia, USA - APR 6, 2009
8.4 ounce can, energy drink-style can featuring the truck mudflap girl and packed with aspartame. Thanks (I think) to kkipple for this one.
Appearance: Pours a very cloudy, pinkish-peach body with a very thin white head.
Smell: Tart-scented, faux raspberry nose with some indistinct hints of wheat.
Taste: Sharp, tart raspberry flavoring and a touch of tangy wheat sweetened with a couple packets of Equal. Lovely. No real hop character or bitterness. Flavor of ground up Sweet Tarts candy on the finish. Bleh!
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-high carbonation.
Drinkability: Not recommended. The production of this beer was a very bad decision.

8.4 ounce can from the Libation Station in Johnson City, TN. Pours a pinkish orange color with a thin head. Poor retention and lacing. Aroma is tart with notes of bread, yeast and raspberries. Taste is tart raspberries with some yeasty bread notes along with some cheesiness. Medium bodied. Meh.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 IrishBoy (3265) - Bakersfield, California, USA - MAR 26, 2009
25 cL can from Westchester Liquors. Nose of wheat, yeast, and raspberries. Reddish yellow with a big glass lacing white head. Flavor was raspberries, yeastiness, a sweet touch, and a tiny bit of funkiness. Not a KRE but OK!
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 23, 2009
I wouldn’t say enticing, but it was undeniably pleasent and it had the potential to draw you in. Light pink colour, sort of hazey, with a big white head. Taste is like jello, raspberries and fresh cut flowers. Very light, tropical fruit notes- it was just missing the body all together. Needed a bit more.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 bikesandbeers (546) - san diego, California, USA - MAR 23, 2009
25cl can form total wine warehouse. poured a hazy peach color with a decent head quickly disapating. Aroma is fruity with some notes of wheat and yeasty. flavor is sweet with a slightly tart finish, but then the nurtasweet lingers even longer. finish is sticky like juice. Perhaps i would buy a bunch of this for a party for girls who normally drink cosmos, but not the serious beer drinker.
