Draft at the brewery. Poured a clear golden yellow color with a small fizzy white head. Aroma was a lot of raspberries. Sweet malts, some grassy notes. Flavor was raspberry, light sweetness.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy pale golden/straw/light pinkish color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of juicy/lightly tart raspberries, fruit seeds, peach, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, lightly toasted bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of raspberries, pale malt, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart raspberries, fruit seeds, peach, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, lightly toasted bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Slight herbal bitterness and fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of raspberries, fruit seeds, peach, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, lightly toasted bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of raspberries, pale malt, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance; and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitter/tartness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly creamy/grainy, and slightly acidic/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.9%. Overall this is a very nice fruit beer. All around nice robustness and balance of raspberries, pale malt, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV, and never watery feeling. A very enjoyable offering.

Reviewed from notes, actually notes from August of 2012, sorry for the late upload.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark orange close to reddish/brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. Lacing, uh...it was slightly there - speckled but in a messy sort of way.
The smell had some tart raspberry but then a sweet raspberry allowing a decent wheaty/graininess to come in.
The taste was mainly just the tart raspberry and the sweet raspberry, slightly inviting.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was good for the style and for me. There was a slight dry raspberry-esque sort of finish.
Overall, decent raspberry ale I think I could do again.

12 oz bottle....looks like apple cider...off white head...pungent raspberry aroma...but like raspberry candy....sour malt flavor & someone tainted the raspberries...watery & weak...aroma and label are the only half decent things this beer has going for it

Bubbly, clear, light gold....initial pour is just head, tall, cottony-white....and wait....pour...wait..... Very pleasant natural raspberry aroma.... Taste is nicely balanced raspberry, malt... It’s even slightly beer-like... Very nice.

Bottle. Fresh earth sweet- tart natural raspberry aroma. Hazy golden apricot with a moderate white head. Sweet-tart raspberry flavor, with a light grassy finish. Light body, moderate carbonation. Easy drinking, not too sweet, and not offensive like I find so many raspberry ales.

12oz bottle pours out a light pink topped with a huge foam head. Aroma of wheat, malts, and raspberries. Taste was as the aroma with a sweet raspberry leading the way.

Bottle @ home, Cloudy yellow-brown appearance with a light orangish cream colored head. Potent ripe, tart, fruity raspberry, carbonated aroma. The raspberry flavor is milder than you would be led to believe with the rich, fruity nose. Mild raspberry, lightly tart flavor. Pretty easy drinking but I’m a little disappointed after eager anticipation following the aroma.
