Wittenden		22 Jun 2012	I had rarely come across a fruit infused beer before, and had never tried one,so I was curious.Smelt of raspberries,but tasted of a struggle between dryness and sharpness. A bit heavy on the raspberries but intriguing.

Martin the Mildman		31 Aug 2010	Excellent pale beer with just the right amount of fruit flavour to avoid becoming oversweet and cloying. My score 17/20.
Martin the Mildman		29 Oct 2009	Superb aroma of raspberry. The beer itself it more citrussy and hoppy with the aroma doing most of the raspberry bit. My score 16/20.

Ian		22 Jul 2010	Lovely aroma of fresh raspberry doesn't continue into the flavour where the fruit and the golden ale do battle for sweetness and dryness at the same time.

Blair		03 Oct 2009	Nice enough, kind of like a blonde beer with a bit of raspberry cordial dropped in.

Dubbel		27 Feb 2009	A confectionary aroma, like a bag of 'bootlaces', poured pale gold with a true raspberry sweet and sharp contrast which interacts brilliantly with the juicy hops. Possibly the perfect summertime beverage? But marked down only because it's February.
