473ml pull-tab CAN ran me $3.28 USD including tax at SavNTime Gas Station, Harahan, LA. I have to assume that's a good 20% over market rate given the establishment's general pricing on other beers (e.g. $11.99 for a sixer of Abita) but that's the only place I've ever seen this brewery's beer at so I shelled out for the single.
Malt: Premium 2 row and Flaked Barley
Hops: Chinook
Fruit: Raspberries
ABV: 4.5% IBU: 5
APPEARANCE: No head forms when it's poured. I suspect my can is undercarbonated and possibly old. If Huckleberry had bothered to date the can, I'd know for sure.
Body is a glowing orange/peach color.
Looks underwhelming.
AROMA: Fresh raspberry, definitely. Simple malt sweetness - 2-row, sure.
That's it.
Suggests a simple shallow beer with a pleasant but one-dimensional raspberry flavour.
TASTE & TEXTURE: It's exactly as expected, only it's also watery and thin upfront. Does have decent carbonation, but it's prickly sharp...I think it's actually overcarbonated all things considered.
Raspberry is the main flavour, and plain barley backs it with generic sweetness. I'd have bet on 6-row if I tried this blind, but apparently it's just 2-row and flaked barley.
Not cheap or syrupy in its raspberry taste, but not entirely genuine either. I figure they dumped in canned raspberry puree instead of using actual macerated raspberries.
Simple, shallow, one-dimensional. Not particularly great in any respect, but not offensive...it's free of any off-flavours.
OVERALL: An underwhelming shrug of a beer from Huckleberry. Mediocre across the board with no memorable characteristics. I'd honestly sooner drink Abita.

Poured from a tap into a small snifter:
Look: looks great nice pinkish amber color very reminiscent of raspberry.
Smell: smells like light raspberry
Taste: very refreshing raspberry flavor that is very reminiscent of Abita Purple Haze, but what it should be, not nearly as sweet and much lighter
Feel: nice medium body but not syrupy as in most fruit beer kinda in the middle of a standard lager and an Abita Purple Haze, very nice and refreshing feel
Overall: this beer is very nice especially for maybe a hot day, very refreshing, and what I wish (I like Purple Haze so don’t hate me if you like it) Purple Haze would be, essentially a glorified Abita Purple Haze
