Look: Dark red-orange color. Clear. Forms a thick head on the pour which completely disappears within a minute. Lots of large bubbles form on the sides of the glass and mostly disappear at the same time as the head. A mix of large and small bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass.
Smell: Has a slightly over-cooked raspberry smell that overwhelms anything else. Swirling the glass raised light malt and floral scents.
Taste: Most of the flavor comes from the raspberry. It doesn't taste as over-cooked as it smells. A little tart, with a small amount of sugar. Very mild malt flavor is the only thing that that hints that this is really a beer.
Feel: Only forms bubbles that tingle the tongue with very mild carbonation. It doesn't turn into a cream or foam. This was almost flat just a few minutes after it was poured despite the lively bubbles at the start. Slightly astringent.
Overall: If this had a few spoonfuls of sugar added, most people would think it was a soft drink (or maybe a cooler), not beer. It is pleasant enough to drink, even though the effervescence is gone in minutes. It needs to be drunk very quickly (almost chugged) in order to get any bubbles.

This is the best raspberry beer I have tried yet. It's not super sweet like others at all. This beer taste like a fresh bowl of raspberries
