Pours a hazy golden orange color with a solid one finger foamy white head. Moderate retention. No lacing.

Raspberry hits your nose immediately and quite strong. It mask any other possible notes, even wheat.

Flavor is very similar. Strong raspberry up front, transitioning into the shrouded wheat character then back to sweet raspberry.

Mouthfeel is light and crisp. Light bodied. Medium-high carbonation.

Overall this beer is a mess. Who is the target market here ladies? The gays? My wife who is not a big beer drinker liked it alot. I actually like regular Shocktop. For a macro brew Hef I think it's pretty damn good. The raspberry is just so overpowering in every way it's a little tough to drink. I contemplated a drainpour.

For sitting and watching sporting events at home this is a wonderful beer. Great chic beer! Even a few guy friends like it but wouldn't admit it to anyone. Not too sweet and doesn't really taste like beer. Once again your girlfriend might like it.

There a lot of craft beers I have been trying & this site was recommended so here I am. If I had known I would had reviewed much sooner. Look forward to UFC this weekend and more beers to try.
