From old tasting notes. Amber red color. Thick creamy beige head. Sweet raspberry malt aroma. Zesty fruity malt flavor. Pronounced bitter hop finish is somewhat medicinal.

Bottle @ home. Pours a hazy, brownish orange appearance with cream colored head. Very sweet, ripe raspberry, light cranberry, effervescent aroma. Tangy honey, quite sweet raspberry soda, a touch bready flavor. Somewhat cloying and quite effervescent.

12oz bottle from the State Store
Appearance: Pours crystal clear orange/copper with a nice sized off-white head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving some lacing in the glass, lots of carbonation bubbling in the glass
Aroma: Raspberry, honey and sweet malts
Taste: Raspberry, sweet malts with some hop bitterness in the finish
Decent beer, just enough raspberries to notice but not too much that it’s hard to drink.

Smells exactly as advertised--honey raspberry. Taste is a little on the light side. Rated 8/13/02

15th September 2008. Hazy orange brown beer. Watery and sweet. The honey is just about there and well overshadowed by the sweet raspberry. A pretty bland and uninteresting watery beer.

12 ounce bottle from Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA. The bottle states 5.1% ABV and that this bottle was brewed at City/Melanie brewing. Pours a slightly hazy orange amber with a large head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is tart, not altogether fresh raspberries with some graininess. Taste is tart raspberries and not much else. Very light grain and pretty much no sweetness, which I would expect from something with honey in the name. Disjointed and really just underwhelming.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small frothy white head that leaves decent lacing on the glass. The aroma is very fruity with rasperry and honey. The taste is a very sweet fruit with a lot of honey but a bit too sweet in the finish that lingers too long in the aftertaste. A decent fruit beer from Flying Dog.

A rosey brown ale with a thin receeding off white head. An aroma of raspberry mash, rather nice, with some beginnings of oxidation. In mouth, a good crisp malt with acidic raspberries, overall, very short, but hitting the spot. A summer beer. Bought at CJs Potsdam, 1.49$.

Very light artificial raspberry aroma and flavor. Light gold color. A hot weather beer that is short on flavor.
