From a bottle. Pours a barely orange color. Little fruit in the aroma. Taste is pretty bland. Little to no wheat flavor or raspberry.

Pours a light orange with a white head. Smells a tad sour and mildly skunky. Taste is dry and wheaty.

An almost wheat colored pour w/ a lightly cloudy tint to it. Large off white head w/ some light lacing. Aroma has some characteristics of an ipa w/ it’s light grapefruit nose followed by a light berry and a bit of cereal. avg pal. Flavor is just bland beer.. not very good at all.

Wheat and raspberries in the smell as you would expect but the fruit as typical it seems is slightly artifical. Wheat stays through with the taste but it is weak in the fruit. Not really liking the after taste. Pale yellow and hazy with an average head.

Pale golden and slightly hazy. Big head at first, but it fades. Citrus hopes on the nose, but not strong. The flavor is weak, but the smoothness of the wheat makes it pretty refreshing. I just don’t taste much rasberry.

Not a terrible beer by any stretch, but as a raspberry wheat beer it fails to deliver. On tap its a little better than the bottles, a light ale with slight complexity from the wheat and fruit, but not much going on.

Taste like an unassuming wheat taste. I taste no raspberry. Hazy golden pour.

I liked this beer. Not too wheat based. Some spicing, but a subdued raspberry taste. Nice.
