Cool name, interesting aftertaste but a little disappointing for me. I wanted to taste more of the berries.

this brew isn't incredibly special but it is very recognizable once you've had it. the dark stone fruit tang tinge is barely there, with the malt being the primary taste factor here, but it is a pleasant addition. it could be amped up in the fruit area to really step into something more notable, but as a simple session'r, it ain't half bad, and sure beats any of the bland swill from mega-corps, and they've managed to stay privately owned all this time, so it's nice to support such spunk.
if you want a much more effectively executed fruit-themed brew from them, try the Strawberry Lager if you can find it.

This a watery mess with some subtle artificial raspberry. I'll try it again for more experiences but I really wasn't prepared for it to be this bad to me honestly.

A light lager with raspberry flavor throughout. Overall a good starter beer for the craft beer enthusiast who like fruity beers.

Purchased as a single bottle from Kroger for $1.69. Poured into a tulip glass.

L - Hazy light orange with a two-finger cream head.
S - Wheat-backed floral notes. Berry, but unsure what sort.
T - Whole wheat, grass, and a touch of petunia. Extremely light raspberry note towards the finish. Not bitter at all.
F - Extremely carbonated. Light, crisp, clean. Very refreshing.
O - I've had this beer before on multiple occasions, and I'm happy to review it for the first time [officially]! It's a refreshing brew for certain, with a vague berry aroma and a wheat-filled aroma. Unfortunately, the raspberry flavor doesn't exactly come out as advertised. In a beer where they make it the main attraction, that's not really a great thing. Will buy again on the basis of its refreshing nature for the price, but it's not something to go out of your way to purchase.

This is a great beer and completely underrated on BA. There is a fruity, berry essence that permeates a sweet, malty backbone, with a slight finish of resiny hops. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Awesome on the nose and palate. The head and appearance are a little underwhelming, but with a beer that smells and tastes so great, who really cares?

For the same ABV as Bud Light, very nice. I love these for weeknights or times when I want something sessionable.

Drinking this at The Local Harris Teeter in Briar creek raleigh nc.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Orange colored with a nice foamy White head that lasted throughout the beer.
Smells lightly bready sweet, raspberry.
Taste follows the nose nicely.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall very good for the style and I would definitely order again.

This one came in a can. Upon opening, a smell of unfrosted raspberry pop-tarts preceded a red-orange-amber nearly opaque liquid with a large but quickly-dissipating head. It was fairly smooth to drink, a slightly bitter raspberry note that faded to slight bitter astringency that grew a little boring by the end of the can. I might try this in a bottle, but it was somewhat underwhelming.

by Bierwolf from Missouri

Look: Medium amber, 2 fingers of off white creamy foam that reduces quickly, cloudy with some carbonation.
Smell: Some fruit, a little yeasty.
Taste: Straw, grass very little raspberry flavor.
Feel: Semi dry, crisp and carbonated.
Over all; Actually refreshing and crisp. They missed the mark with the raspberry flavor though.

Poured 12 oz bottle into pint glass. This was the 3rd time I had this beer. My first impression was much worse. There is little to no head retention. Thin body golden color with reddish tint. I will don't have a good nose for aromas. Slight berry scent maybe. Weak mouthfeel. Tastes a little soapy. (not the glass, I had the first straight out of the bottle). I will not buy this again unless I see it on tap. Much better fruit beers available.
