It smell like a raspberry. That is a very good thing. The head is thin and white, and the ale looks pink with bits of raspberry in it. It is a bit sweeter on the flavor, as I favor sour in a fruity ale, but it is not too sweet.

 

 

I got a bottle of this beer of this beer from a Christmas gift basket that my Sis ans BRAH-in-law bought for me. It poured a clear pinkish amber with thin white ring head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had beautiful Raspberry notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with tart berry presence. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

 

Smells very raspberry and fruity. Taste like sweet and tart raspberry with a nice balance between the sweet and tart. There’s a slight yeast taste in the finish. This is more like a cider than a beer but not bad.

 

 

 

Got a nitro draft from City Tap in a pint glass with a finger of white nitro head on top. Smells mildly of raspberries. Very pink color. Taste is excellent, only mildly sour, a little sweet, and lots of raspberry flavor. Light bodied with a very creamy nitro texture. Excellent nitro tap.

Smurf jizz, not beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This beer takes pink. Strange flavor that is not quite raspberry but looks like pink sparkling wine. Flat with no real head and the second did taste better colder in the bottle instead of a slow pour into a glass. No recommendation here. Try Leinenkugel's® Berry Weiss since it is a better pour.

Bottled 11.19.21 11 is my lucky number but 4 month old beer isn’t usually lucky. Work in 12 hours put me in a bad mood so here we go.

L: cranberry juice, low white head. Legit looks like classy cranberry juice.
S: puke berries. Like gross.
T: smooth red berry taste. Actually kind of impressed. No medicine taste just a cranberry taste without the bitterness. Just surprisingly great. For what it is.
F: medium body, low if any carbonation, creamy. Very pleasant.
O: I don’t have much bad to say about it besides the smell. Definitely worth trying, not worth a 2nd try for most people but I bet some people would seriously love this brew. Ladies try this, men, u can live without.

 

Probably my favorite beer to date. Love the strong raspberry taste

 

Really bright pink. Smells almost like cherry medicine; very floral and fruity. Smells bright and refreshing. Taste is really sweet. Tastes like fresh raspberries. Very little to make you think it’s a beer. Feel is light. Small bubbles and very refreshing.

Poured a red-ish weak iced tea color and was topped with a pink (yes, pink) head. Not a lot of lacing.
The aroma was all about the raspberries, but as this is a raspberry ale, that makes perfect sense. They nailed the smell.
The taste, well, follows. Pure raspberry with *just* enough malt presence to keep it from being a hard soda.
Feel is surprisingly viscous - not syrupy but not thin. Really made me slow down and enjoy a bit.
OA, if you like the taste of Raspberries or fruited beers, give this one a try. If you don't, well, don't!

 

Smells & tastes like raspberries. Well hidden ABV. A good fruit beer.

Lovely summer beer.

 

 

 

 

 

12 ounce bottle poured into a tulip glass. Bottled on 4/19/21, so plenty fresh.

L---Clear, rich red color with a fluffy, light pink head. Head had good retention and left good lacing.

S---Well, raspberries.

T---Still raspberries. But it smells and tastes like real, fresh raspberries. A one trick pony, but it's pretty good at that trick.

F---Light/medium body with good carbonation.

O---A really nice one from a world class brewery. They absolutely hit what they were aiming for.

 

A: Poured from the 12 oz can into a pint glass. The beer is a dark red color that is clear when held to light. Head is foamy, off-white, and 2 fingers with moderate retention.

S: Sugary raspberry jam with a bit of bread and pie crust to hold it together. Not complex, just fruitiness and a bit of pie. Not that that's a bad thing...

T: A bolder, juicer flavor than I was expecting. This isn't quite in your face but the taste is all raspberry all the way through and has a lot of character. There is a certain something holding it together, so it's not just juice and it's not a sugary mess.

Overall: More elevated and drinkable than I thought. I was picturing a sort of lambic, but this is not tart at all. It has a pleasant juiciness to it, and it feels like a nice summer drink.

Outstanding beer but you have to get the nitro tap. Bottles and cans do not do this beer justice. Smooth mouthful. Amazing taste.

Pours dark pink with an off-white head. Faint fieldberry on the nose. The taste is sweet/tart raspberry with a nice malty background. You can tell that this is real raspberries and not just flavouring. A nice summertime quencher.
