A decent raspbeer that my fiancee enjoys, but I prefer to make my own, which is better.

[2421-20090802] Tap. Nice bread yeast dough and mild fruit aroma. Hazy, light orange body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Sweet fruity raspberry plum flavour has some doughy yeast grains. Medium body is smooth. Nice texture, fruitiness and overall balance.

12oz screw-top bottle from The Liquor Shop in Tyngsboro, Mass. Pours a hazy amber yellow with a quickly dissipating thin off-white head. Smells grainy with touches of caramel and biscuit, with a fair bit of raspberry. Grainy and sweet, with a touch of citrus, obviously a strong undertone of sweet-tart raspberry. Light in body with moderate carbonation, and fairly quaffable. American wheat and fruit beer are not my favorite styles for sure, but this is a reasonably solid example of both. Worth a try.

An endearing beer. Decent balance between beer and fruit taste. Good to get people away from the Bud Light and Miller Lite they would normally reach for but by no means a great beer. Generally not worth the premium paid for it though.

Meh, whatever. The lady-friend likes it so who am I to say anything aloud? Mineral water beer.

Tap at the Brevard County Beer Fest--Hazy to cloudy yellow with a decent head. I didn’t notice much of a raspberries in the aroma or the taste, probably just as well. Not horrible, just not something I would buy in a six pack.

On tap at Pour 24. Not bad wheat beer that tastes of raspberries. Fruit taste is just a hint.

Pours a cloudy yellow with an aroma of raspberry, wheat, and hops. Mild hoppy raspberry flavor with a grassy/earthy taste. Pretty balance fruit beer that isn’t overly offensive. Not too bad but also not one of my top Abita beers - I’ll take the Restoration Ale any day.
