Arrived at the table a very attractive, bright, pinkish-red with a medium white head.
Smell was incredible, raspberries, raspberries and more raspberries. There are slight bready yeast notes as well, but the fruit overtakes that.
The taste was more of the same. Very tangy, fruity, raspberry with a nice smooth backbone that fills the mouth. The yeasy wheat flavors are very evident and add alot to this brew. It was extremely refreshing.
If you like fruit beers like I do, this is very drinkable. The day I had this, there was somewhat of a heatwave in the area, as it was in the 70s in March. I couldn't have asked for a better beer at that moment.
Excellent!

A: I thought that the bartender handed me a cosmopolitan in a pint glass... this one poured a bright and opaque pink with no head. Not a hint of lacing.
S: Obnoxious aroma of raspberries (and not that I don't like raspberries. They're actually my favorite fruit. It just wasn't a good smell for a beer.) I found myself wondering "where's the 'wheat'"
T: Surprisingly non-obnoxious. There was a good amount of raspberry flavor, but unfortunately, nothing else.
M: Think tonic water. The body was lighter than any BMC lite, and the carbonation was out of control and audibly fizzed for the duration (albeit brief) of the drink.
D: I've never been one to chug beers, but this is as close as I've ever been. I'm still wondering why I bothered to finish it.
