Reviewed from notes.
Poured into a nonic (I thought this was a fruit beer, well then, uhmmm, alrighty then)
Appearance: dark violet color with a two finger pink foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: red raspberries - sweet & tart, some lactose and super light creaminess further underneath
Flavor: blends the sweet to the tart - the raspberries into the lactose to make the sweet subside a little bit; mild raspberry to lactose aftertaste
Texture: between light and medium bodied, sessionable; moves nicely along my tongue; finishes with the raspberries and lactose
Overall: starting to think I was right on the fact that this is a real "fruit beer" unless too much lactose was involved to possibly block the tart wheat aspect of the Berliner weisse tones. I'd have again for me but if you're a true Berliner weisse fan, you might not really like this beer.

Murky and ruddy purplish-maroon pour with a medium thin pinkish-white head that evaporates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Raspberry, yeast and malt in the nose. Light body with a tart raspberry character and notes of yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart with a raspberry aftertaste. Good beer overall.

Pours pink with a large pink head. Aroma of lactose and raspberry. Taste is heavily sour, more lactose, plenty of fruit grist on the tongue. Palate has continued raspberry notes, some more salty lactic notes. Quite good.

16 oz can from John, thanks pal, 4/18/22. Canned 1/12/22. Clear pinkish-orange color with a thin white head and light, drippy lace. Sweet and fruity aroma and flavor. Lots of raspberry, as you'd probably expect from the name. Mild tartness to keep the sweet / jammyness in check. Drinks cleaner than many lactose beers, which is nice. It's pretty good thanks to being more drinkable than I expected from a lactose sour jam beer.

Can date of 6-17-19. “These raspberries taste like raspberries”. Tart and mildly Jammy raspberry with a slight pucker after the sip. Mouth feel is indeed creamy.

Can from AFH. A little cloudy with fruit purée. Smell a little like poopey an a lot of sugary raspberry. Tasty jammy sweetness and tart over-arch. Dry finish. Would be great in a hot summer day.
