Bottle. The aroma of this beer was surprisingly weak. It does have the hints of raspberry and lime but not as much as one would think. The taste was better. Had a sour fruity taste.

Pours a lightly hazy pinkish color. It smells of lime and berries. The flavor is lightly tart with sweet, light malt. The lime comes through pretty well, the berries less so. Still, it's fruity and fairly refreshing.

355ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, pink to purple colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Rather weak raspberry aroma, citrusy fruity undertones, a touch of lime. Taste is sweet-ish pale malty, tart-ish fruity overtones with diluted hints of raspberry and lime; slightly watery. A bit anaemic.

Crazy coloured hazy pink coloured body with a slightly off-white head that barely covers the top and fades very fast. Aroma of limes, light berries, tart fruits, some light sugars from fruit as well with very little else, aside from some sour candy. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal malt flavours with a bite of dry and bitter flavours showing only some light lime fruity quality that is quite mellow without much support from the malt or from anything else with this one. Aftertaste shows more of the lime and funk from the yeast than anything else - no real berry flavours, no depth in malt, no hops at all, no real tart or sour flavours (those are only in the nose) and no complexity when it comes to flavour or profile. Overall, a pretty poor beer with some nice lime notes in the nose and flavour without much else - no sugars, no hops, no complexity and no depth make this decent, but lacking creativity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Publix Grocery in Orlando (Right outside Disney World on International Drive), Florida on 04-May-2018 for US$1,99 sampled at home back in Washington - but at a hotel instead of at home on 14-July-2018.

Bottle at home. Pinkish amber. Lime nose hint of berry. Tastes of raspberry, lemon lime soda, faint herbal. Watery spritzer like. Not much too this tart line from NB

Bottle. Light sour milk, raspberry, lime, biscuit malt, and hay aroma. Hazy reddish amber with moderate light pink head. Lightly sweet raspberry, lime, milk, very light malt, and very mildly bitter hay flavor. Light body. Okay but bland.

Pours rose into a tulip. White head with little retention recedes to nothing. Raspberry aromas. Soft with sweet raspberry and dry seed and citrus front to back. Abrupt mild marshmallow finish.

12 oz bottle, thanks brother. Aroma is raspberry, lacto, wheat, faint whiff of vomit. Rosy pink pour with a fleeting pinkish-white head. Taste is lightly tart (2/5), trademark biscuity NB malt bill, grainy, soapy, dry, lightly bitter finish. A bit watery. Not so good. Better straight out of the bottle.
