Weak foam on a semi translucent reddish body, soft raspberry and malt on the nose that comes across like mud. Flavour is sweet raspberry and some soft grain, sugar is cloying and lingers on the tongue. Very average fruity concoction, nothing much to see here, though it is drinkable.

Bottle - Light grains and raspberry. Clear pink orange with a small white head. Raspberry and not much else. Boring.

Pinkish. Thin head. On the nose, the raspberry shows through, and there's some phenols and cardboard. On the palate, there's raspberry. Thin, no kolsch character, definitely a bit of cardboard. I wouldn't call this is a good beer.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy reddish pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out some phenols, with subdued raspberries. Flavour is loaded with phenols and artificially sweet raspberry syrup. Too phenolic and artificial. Why would you produce this? Awful.

Draught at Parallel 49, Vancouver
Cloudy red colour. Some smell and taste of swamp, crisp bread base, but also very weak body, and any beer quality is masked by the fruit, and the fruit is mild and dry, with vegetable notes. Quite bad.
