Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass, this beer went great with a 100 calorie pack of chips ahoy. The pairing of the sweet chocolatey cookies and the dry raspberry honey ale met perfectly in the middle. Without the cookies, this beer is, as previously stated, only mediocre.
1+ finger head, transparent dark red, with an off white & beige head with nice lacing. The head disappears quickly and smells mostly of malt. The Dog on the bottle must be tricking my senses, but the wheat smell comes off more like dog food than anything.
The strong raspberry aromas come out after the head settles. There is a raspberry flavor before and after the wheaty & bready taste that hits you in the middle. Not overly sweet, just very fruity. Surprisingly dry for a summer ale.
Honey is mixed in with the bready flavor, so it is almost hidden. This ale has a very sharp mouthfeel, very dry, and the bready wheat taste creates an interesting feeling.
The wheat taste slowly disappears after drinking this beer for awhile, and you only taste the raspberry honey flavor.
Overall, easy to drink, but not something that you would want to.

Looks like a pink lemonade shandy. A lot of sweetened lemon candy going for it in the aroma, with some of that berry Kool Aid packet going for it.
Man this is like sugar packets and nerds candy. Nothing in terms of hops, malt, yeast going for it. Gives sweet more than honey or raspberry too.
I can only further report that this beer is essentially a failure.
