[On tap at ZeroDegrees Reading] Poured a murky bubblegum pink. Aroma very clearly of rather artificial raspberries. Fortunately the raspberry taste in the beer actually tastes of real raspberry rather than artificial ones - the emphasis is on tartness and sharpness, which is welcome compared to other supersweet raspberry beers I’ve had. The big problem here is that this rather nice raspberry flavour is not matched to the beer at all - it’s very unbalanced, with alternate and conflicting tastes of tart raspberry and a bitter, sour wheat beer. Disappointing. c4
