From old tasting notes. Bright gold color. Small creamy white head. light fruity malt aroma. Tart berry malt flavor is refreshing. Crisp dry hop finish.

Bottle thanks to jcwattsrugger. Pours a light red in the glass. Semi clear. Nose is overpowering berry juice. Taste is watermelon, watered down berry. Little wheat body to it.

Darker than pale lager. but just as clear. Clean, possibley bordering on artifical perfectness raspberry smell. Initially unsweetened raspberry taste impact. Typical fruit beer attitude. Has a medium bitter fruit flavoring character. Did I say it was like many fruit beers? Ale-ish bite on the finish. Should have tasted under better circumstances.

Good raspberry flavor. Lightly carbonated, and light red color. Good palate. Some wheat. This isn’t a great beer, but on a warm day, it isn’t bad at all.

Pours thick head. Strong flavor of raspberry. Sadly, just extract. Leaves a thick, sticky mouthfeel with carbonation. The concept is good but the finish is very weak. Feel more like you are drinking a soda than a beer. Refreshing, good for the warm FL summer.

Darkish bronze color, big foaming head. Aroma of dough and raspberries. Flavor is berryish without being sweet, with a touch of graininess/doughiness and maybe a hint of lemon zest. Finish is semi-dry and borderline astringent. Decent mouthfeel with soft carbonation.

It glugged out of the bottle in a clear copper color with quickly dissipating tan head. The aroma is pretty strong consisting of mostly raspberry extract syrup. I don’t smell much behind that. The flavor has over the top raspberry syrup that powers over whatever else might be there. Certainly this brew could use some semblance of balance between the adjuncts, malts and even the hops. Tastes like a raspberry seven-up derivative.

Slightly hazy golden colour with some very faint orange highlights and a thin white head. Smells of very fresh raspberries, a bit of caster sugar and some malt. Initial taste is hoppy, middle tastes of the fresh raspberries and finally the bitterness from the malt. The aftertaste is a bit of sweetness and the subtle taste of raspberries along with some malt a very small amount of hops. Overall a pretty good fruit flavoured wheat...filtered, but still nice! It was the first beer I had after my wisdom teeth came out today, but hopefully it is still true to the beer. From other reviews it seems to be spot on! I got my twelve ounce bottle in a beer trade from Matt A. (Mabdoney)...thanks again!
