[Best served in a Flute glass]

Poured a cloudy pinkish-yellow with a small white fizzy head that was fully diminishing and had no lacing to speak of. The aroma was very weak with notes of bread malts, a doughy yeast and a slight hint of raspberry. It tasted lightly sweet with a mild acidic characteristic from start to finish and had a slight hint of raspberry at the end with the flavor disappearing from the taste buds almost immediately. Mouthfeel was light in body and watery in texture with the carbonation being quite lively. Overall a nice light refreshing brew with a just a bit of raspberry flavor. Great on those hot summer days when you feel like having more than just a few.

Had this one on tap for brunch at some big shopping complex outside Dade City, Florida. From notes.

A - Medium golden pour and bright. Mild carbonation. One finger soapy head. Slight lace with a film of retention.

S - Peach, sweet fruits. Very, very mild.

T - Apricots, gentle hop, berries, sweet grain, flavourful but nothing directly up my alley.

M - Mild but good carbonation. Light to medium body. Fruity and short finish.

O/D - Definitely not a standout. Very much a gateway into craft stuff with the obvious fruit addition. Decent, but I probably wouldn't try it again.

Serving type: on-tap
