Bottle as shown. Pours a hazy orange gold with a small white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is tart and rasberry. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery with a medice rasberry and tart. Not much going on with this one.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a pale, hazy yellow with a fair white head. The aroma is wheat and a strong nose of raspberries. The flavor is tart, and sweet in the finish. The palate is light to medium, a little acidic, and sticky and medicinal in the finish. Overall, a very forward and abrupt fruit beer, but delicious.

From a bottle. Has a very nice mild real raspberry aroma, smells good and appetizing. Cloudy hazy yellow with yeast on the bottom of the bottle. Taste is Ok but about average for a fruit beer. Unfortunately none of the pleasant sweetness of the aroma carries over to the taste. Basic dull fruit flavors cover up the wheat or belgie white attributes. Overall beer experience is Ok. Decent amount of sizzly co2 on the beginning of each swig but immediately goes almost flat while in the mouth. Finsh lacks any real bitterness and I like that. Goes down fairly easy but in my humble opinion that raspberry flavoring prevents this from being a good session brew.

Weak raspberry aroma. Cloudy amber, thick head. Flavor is cloying sugar water with rasberry on the back end. Very much like soda pop with cane sugar. I’m among the few I know with a favorable opinion of shock top, but this version isn’t very good.

12 oz bottle into snifter. Pours a hazy cantaloupe-colored hue with a medium dissipating head; leaves a skiff, collar of foam and some decorative lace is left on the glass. Strong raspberry aroma, along with some medicinal and wet dog off-notes. Taste is sweet and salty with a slight bitter hoppy bite in the finish. Dry. Carbonation is high, body is light, mouthfeel is a tad creamy. More like berry-flavored seltzer water than beer. Simplistic but very easy to drink.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy pale yellow color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that faded fairly quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet and tangy with a vague artificial berry presence and a moderate note of sugar. The flavor was sugar and tangy artificial berry with a faint grainy wheaty undertone. Medium finish. Light body. Eh.
