Worst beer I’ve ever had. If the combination of beer and cough syrup is something you’d appreciate, then try this. Otherwise I’d suggest you stay away. Gross.

It's almost as if someone dumped a Mountain Blackberry Cleary Canadian into a pint of bitters.

I'll buy this beer the next time I want to stay away from alcohol.

I bought this beer desperate for a winter drink. When I saw it was a wheat ale, I already knew I'm making a mistake, but went ahead thinking no beer can be too bad.
Well this is the first beer in my life I regret buying. It has a "happy" taste like mulled wine or apple cider, or even worse, like some morning cereal, to give that "winter feeling". BUT IT HAS NO BODY. Tap water has a better / fuller aftertaste than this.

Do
Not
Buy.

I have had hundreds of beers in my life. This one was undoubtedly the worst tasting one I have ever had and it's not even close. It tastes like a bitter and foul-flavored medicine. I'm only writing this review so that I will never make the mistake of buying one again.

330ml bottle - there is no indication on the label as to how they flavoured this one.

This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent ropy lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.

It smells of sugary raspberries and candied oranges, bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of earthy nuttiness, and some ephemeral leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a muddled berry and citrus fruitiness, some oily bar-top nuts, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite active in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a touch of fruit acidity weirdly getting in the way of an ideal time at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fading frooty essences presiding.

Overall - okay, as far as using raspberry and citrus in a winter brew, I suppose that they were going for a simulacrum of the various fruitcake or chocolate-covered whatevers that abound from now until the snow thinks about starting to melt. Not bad, but kind of thin at times, and I just find it a bit too difficult to really get into.
