Clear gold with a modest head which dissipates quickly. Good raspberry nose. Light wheat body with subtle raspberry. Good crispness, average beer.

Pale light yellow with a light head and limited lacing. Aroma - raspberry - flavour too - raspberry over bready malt and very little hopping so the raspberry finished VERY sweet.

Serving Type: 500 mL Pour into a Garrison Pint Glass @ King Street Ale House, Fredericton, N.B.

A- Pours a Deep golden colour topped by a fluffy white 1 1/2 finger head. Good retention and lots of lacing.

S- Incredible fresh raspberry aroma. Nothing artificial here. Nothing complex, just a good hit of fresh, juicy raspberries.

T- Bread, soft fruity yeast flavours, and a good hit of raspberry tartness to end off. Very refreshing flavour.

M- Light to Medium body and moderate carbonation. Probably wouldn't hurt to be a bit thicker but nothing bad to speak of.

O- I usually shy away from a lot of Fruit beers because they tend to taste "fake" but this one really delivers in the fruit department. Aromas and flavours of fresh raspberries are a real treat. Nothing too sweet, just authentic, tart flavour.

Very nice raspberry scent, not fake by any means. Nice clear pale dark golden colour. The raspberry hits strong, and lasts throughout the drink. A nice drink after supper.

Pours a gold colour, quite pale with furious carbonation. White, large bubbly head sinks quite quickly. Bit disappointing lace-wise too. Looks lagery. Not terrible though.

Smells fruity with rather meaty raspberry notes, quite tart and tangy. Yeah pleasant but one-note.

Taste is similar, quite creamy but then rather lagery in the sense of yeasty, somewhat bready. Touch of fruit, some pie spice and a bit bitter. Not quite sure how to slot it into style but pleasant enough.

A bit fizzy, thinnish but OK.

Intriguing but not amazing.
