A light ale made with 100% real raspberries in every batch. The raspberries give this beer a fruity aroma while keeping the beer balanced in taste. The raspberry flavor is not "oversweet" or "overpowering." We believe our beers should be "beer 1st, fruit 2nd."

    Cloudy amber pour with no head. Minimal amount of lace. Nose was a perfect aroma of fresh raspberries. Don't remember anything smelling this good. Unfortunately everything else was below average.

    Amber to copper in appearance with a thin filmy head. Sweet and malty feel, a bit empty on the back swing. Raspberries, pale malt and some cardboard. Too simple overall.

    Poured a slightly hazy, light orange color with a decent head. The aroma is raspberries and a slight bready aroma. The taste is a much more of a subtle raspberry taste than the aroma would lead you to believe. It's not too sweet. A pretty good fruit beer which is mild and well balanced. The mouthfeel is really easy to drink and is light on the carbonation. Ends dry. I must point out that fruit beers are my favorite style of beer.

    subpar in everything except aroma. It was weak, had little body and even its color was yellow (not something I expected from something made with raspberries). As one brewfest person next to me put it, "Hey someone snuck a wine cooler in here."

    Comes out of the tap a barely transluent dark honey-golden brown. Aroma is malty with a strong overtone of raspberry - which I love. Flavor is malty and a bit hoppy, again with a firm raspberry overtone, just a teensy bit on the thin side. Texture is smooth, fairly fizzy and just a bit watery. Definitely worth a try.

    Smell of raspberries and it pours a amber color with a medium head. Flavor is grainy with raspberries on the back of the tongue. Sweet taste that goes down smooth. Decent beer.

    Pours a cloudy, goldish amber color with a light tan head with some nice lacing. Smells and tastes of raspberries and malt. Sweet start, tart finish. Generally not a fan of fruit beers, but this one better than most I have tried. Dark Horse has it going on.

    This beer poured a coudy amber color with a thin white head. It had a mild aroma and a very balanced flavor with a noticeABle raspberry taste. Not overdone, made very well.
