473ml can. Pours a clear amber with pink hue and a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of raspberry and bready wheat malt. Sweet flavour of raspberry and bready wheat malt with a dry, slightly tart finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Pretty plain and simple, but easy to put back on a hot summer day.

Soft clear red brownish body and minimal foam. Sugary raspberry juice on the nose. Flavour is a mediocre mix of sweet raspberry and malt. Full on the mouth though still sweet and syrupy. A candy-ish beer, there is very little to recommend here.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Red color, bright, hazy, with generous compact head. The aroma is not offensive, the flavor makes up for it: artificial strawberry syrup, moderately sweet, some aspartame, with no bitterness.
Not a beer. I drink sodas, but I couldn’t drink this.

650 ml bottle. Pours a dark pink with little head. Aroma of raspberry juice. Tastes the same though thin and carbonated, plus a bit malty. This is a cooler not a beer.

Sampled at Dunbar Liquor Boutique, pours hazy pink with a tiny head. Aroma of raspberries and sourness. Flavour is more sour than the aroma suggests, with citrus and sour raspberries dominating, but still muted. Kind of watery mouthful.

Clear. Peachy colour. Lots of bubbles, but not much head. The aroma is a clash of pale malt, grassy hops and light raspberry. Stacks of fizziness push a tart, wheaty body with light raspberry notes across the palate. There is some integration between the beer and fruit owing to the acidity but ultimately neither makes a bold statement. If the fruit-beer interplay in a great fruit beer is a cruiserweight championship bout, this is a drunken slapfight between Urkel and Stephen Hawking.

Slight raspberry Aroma. Neonred amber, no head. Oatmeal and fruit, but not in a good way, rather like a cheap snack bar. Watery and light, I could have sworn it was a low alcohol brew. Dissappointing.

Sparkling red, light pink fast fading head. Light berry nose. Very light, slightly acidic flavor. Bland. The flavor improves as it warms, but who wants a warm wheat?
