    Wanted to try it but at $12.49 I couldnt pull the trigger since I'm not much of a fruit beer fan.

    If anyone wants this that can't get it where they're at, I have 4 4-packs of it.

    Just mixed this with Bell's Oarsman. I call it Michigan Raspberry Tart.

    This is the most refreshing malt beverage I have had in a long time. The raspberry flavor is very fresh. It has a nice tart finish. It is so easy to quaff. I will buy more if I find it available.

    This had a great taste, but I drank the $10/10oz. draft in like a minute because it taste like juice. that is all.

    Still waiting for this to hit VA. I'd love to have a few on this humid, summer day.

    I know people have been knocking this beer in the reviews, but i have to say, not being a real fan of the style, i really enjoyed it. I did not think the carbonation was over the top, and the tartness of the beer with the raspberries came in a nice wave so was not over powering.

    I was planning on drinking one last night then giving rest to friend, but ended up drinking 3 of them they went down so easily. Will definitely try more, and it is such a perfect hot weather beer, that i think they hit their mark close to spot on with this one

    This was actually stunningly good in my opinion. Was blown away by the color and the flavor profile achieved. Very excited to get out there and try more "niche" fruit and/or sour beer styles.

    Picked up a 4 pack... Cloyingly sweet. a few ounces in and I was done. mixed in some ruination, for raspberry ruination, damn tasty... The other three are going into swing tops with jacobins cultured yeast to sour. can't stand to drink any more of this. all the positive posts in this thread were extremely misleading.

    Wow! Your ass must be sore. Seems like it should be about $5 for 10 oz? Nothing like a $48 4 pack!

    I thought it was okay.. Not a fan favorite and will be my only 4 pack I think.

    I drank one last night after our cook out, and while I liked the tart fruit profile, I thought the body was too big on it. Thinner would have been better. It kinda turned into a cough syrup type of flavor about halfway through.
