Originally rated June 2005. Kawartha Lakes Brewing was sold to Amsterdam Brewing in 2003. I use to love this brew, especially in summer. I have not tried it since the move. Pours a caramel amber colour with hardly any carbonation. Almost no head, and no lacing at all. The raspberry aroma now smell like it is from a fruit juice. Use to be real powerful. Same as the taste. Most people complained before, because it tasted too much. Now, it is hardly effective. Slight raspberries in the finish, slight wheat in the aftertaste. Refreshing, but a big loss. Same as the rest of the Amsterdam brews, just basic. Thank you KLB for all the years of good brewing... I will now put this one in the past.

Alright. Had plenty of raspberry beers lately and it’s not the best of them. Would be better with a softer palate more in keeping with a wheat beer.

(can) clear amber colour with medium tall white head; aroma of raspberries; clean and refreshing flavour with long light bitter finish, simple but refreshing, ingredients list shows that it is made with raspberry essence, little indication of wheat beer character

Perfect definition of copper coloured body with a nice sized (two centimetre tall) tan head. Aroma of super strong and fragrant raspberries, a bit of wheat and a large amount of sugar. Medium to Light-bodied; Pungent and assertive metallic and off-tasting malt up front that fades to a decent raspberry finish with caramel and once again, a tiny bit of wheat/malt in the mix. Aftertaste is a foul bitter flavour with some minor raspberries and caramel too. Overall, not a great beer by any means, but not horrible and by far not the worst fruit beer I’ve had. I sampled this 473 (odd size) mL can purchased from the LCBO (Summerhill) in Toronto, Ontario on 11-October-2009, sampled back home on the American side of the border in Washington on 21-October-2009.

Medium to dark amber, with a low off-white head. Relatively fragrant aroma of dark malts, wheat, raspberry and hops: neither the wheat nor the fruit is in control here--good balance, sour and sweet. Taste is berry, with sweet and sour, dark malts, caramel, wheat and a touch of hops. Interesting combination, not strong on the wheat. The raspberry is a little fake tasting, but otherwise pretty decent. Finish of malt and sour fruits, with a touch of hops only. An interesting fruit beer with a lot going on. Not perfect or even outstanding, but enjoyable enough.

Summer 2004. Orange copper beer with no head. Aroma of raspberry jam. Pleasant tartness with some raspberry notes in finish with a touch of hops . Medium bodied.
