Notes from eight years ago, June, 2003. I probably went the whole of that time span without having another of these. Notes follow:
Quite a fun name, nice little gimmick, but, hey, how's the beer?
Appearance: a hazy pale orange color, with an initially fluffy white head, that's quick to crumble away.
Aroma: sweet and fruity, definitely berryish, the pure stamp of raspberries, comingled with the wheaty, yeast, citric nature of a hefe weizen. But, as a hefe weizen, it falls severely short. As an American HW, flavored with fruit, not terrible.
Decent texture, light body, extraordinarily drinkable, tasty, smooth, but all in all uneventful.
That does the trick sometimes though, and I'm sure this would be quite a hit with the ladies at the beach.

I gave this a C/3.2 back then, and I'm still 1% above the mean. Beer geeks are tough cookies.
