473 mL can from the LCBO; I don't see a canning date. Served slightly chilled.
Pours a clear golden-amber colour, like apple juice, topped with more than an inch of loose, soapy white head that sizzles off within a minute or two. A respectable smattering of messy lace is scattered about in its wake, with its remnants including a tight collar and bubbly cap. Lemonade and raspberries on the nose, with plenty of sugar and a faint whiff of pale malts.
A very basic shandy/radler-type brew - I'm getting cane sugar sweetness right off the bat, with tart lemon, lemonade and raspberry flavouring bringing up the rear. The malts are barely discernible, and there's no hop presence whatsoever; sweet finish with short-lived notes of raspberry lemonade. Light in body, with aggressive, soda-like carbonation that froths up on the tongue; there's a crisp, palate-scrubbing bite that comes with each sip. With many beers, this might present a problem, but for this fruity lemonade gimmicky thing, it works as well as one might hope.
Final Grade: 3.21, a C+. Juicebox Raspberry Lemonade isn't entirely unappealing, but it's far too sweet and one-dimensional to earn a serious recommendation. Does Mike's Hard make a hard raspberry lemonade? This would serve as an acceptable substitute for something like that, but if you're seeking out a real raspberry craft beer, I'd look elsewhere.

Review from notes - Appears to have been long lost review from July 13, 2021.
Appearance - Semi Hazy dark gold colored brew with two fingers of fluffy white head. Rather modest staying power.
Smell - Lots of raspberries and quite a bit of lemon as well. Sort of artificial smelling but the aromas are strong and good.
Taste – Raspberries and the lemonade, so initially tart and sour then sweet and beer like in the aftertaste. Unusual way of presenting things but tasty enough.
Mouthfeel - Medium-light bodied, fizzy and could be gassy with repeated consumption. Carbonation falls off real quick.
Overall - Decent beer, I’m not sure how much is beer and how much is raspberry lemonade. In fact I’m not certain that this is really beer, but a tasty enough summer tipple. Reminds me of lemonade shandy.
