[1] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/28/2008 3:09:50 PM)
"Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: It has a light yellow straw color with a white fluffy head. Its head fades out quickly and leaves little to no lace on the glass.
Smell: The aroma has a raspberry syrup scent with light wheat notes.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor has a thin grainy malt taste with a heavy raspberry flavor that tastes like it was sweetened with artificial sweetener. The body is light with a fuzzy mouth feel and fizzy carbonation.
Notes: This was just a little off balance for me. The body didn't support the sweetness very well. However it is light and effervescent making it good for hot summer days.

[2] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/27/2008 11:00:11 PM)
"Southern Tier seems to be gaining some inroads into the Ontario market. This beer poured a golden colour with a white head. The aroma was raspberries, but you could get a whiff of the wheat malt as well. The flavour was as described, a wheat beer with raspberries, and a small amount of hops. Refreshing."

[3] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/4/2008 7:18:11 PM)
"Single bottle, good choice as this beer doesn't suit my fancy. Sparkling light yellow-gold pour with a small white head, lazy carbonation, and spotty lacing. Faint pale malt aroma with some noticeable raspberry, fruity and grassy. Light bodied and fizzy with a crisp, empty finish. An awkward bitter-sweet fruitiness hits the palate. Dry taste with some grassy wheat. Complimenting raspberry flavoring, comes off a touch syrupy. This beer would work better if there was a deeper malt body. Raspberries are a nice fruit to add to beer, but it helps if there is a rich malt flavor to back it up. This one just doesn't seem to work."

[4] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/8/2007 8:51:05 AM)
"Bottle from beastiefan2k, pour was pale golden yellow, little soda pop type looking head, lacing fairly weak - looked like a wheat based blonde ale. Aroma was strong raspberries, light wheat twang. The flavor followed the aroma, a bit too strong of raspberry going on for me, like puree was mixed into the brew (no, not raspberry flavoring or syrup, no that bad!) in many ways. Slight tart notes in the otherwise carbonated finish. I probably would have appreciated this much more in the summer, but this brew could have been better regardless of season with less raspberry presence."

[5] Review by fozapd from Burlington, NJ, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/8/2007 9:26:31 PM)
"I acquired this bottle from Canal's in Burlington, NJ. I decided to try this one for the sake of review despite not being a fan of fruit beers. It had a very pleasant aroma and taste. Very notably raspberry but not juicy like other poorly made fruit beers. This one was a decent fruit beer. wheaty with a hint of raspberry. Decent- probably excellent if you like fruit beers! "
