opaque pink, fine thin white head, light sweet raspberry aroma that reaches your nose before you reach for the glass, light sweet flavor, well balanced between the raspberry and wheat characer, nicely refined over the years

Bottle from Hi-Time Wine. Pours a hazy golden/amber color. Aroma is of raspberries or at least berries of some sort. Some whaet as well. Fruit does not come across all that well. Refreshing, but fairly boring.

pale golden color with lots of carbonation and a tall attractive white foam top. lots of sweet grainy nose and a little raspberry fruit as well. i tried a bunch of these razz wheats and this one is better than most. it’s less cloying and the fruit is more distinguished but not overpowering. all that aside i wouldn’t find myself drinking this again. just not my thing.

Bottle, poured with a large head and a frothy golden appearance. Im not sure if it was just this particular bottle but this beer had a very foul smell.

Bottle. Aroma promised raspberries. Flavor did not deliver. Rasberries had a medicinal taste to them, not natural at all. I chose not to finish this one after about 3/4 of the way through it.

Smells nice, and has a very attractive, unique color. Dare I say it actually has a ’purple haze’ to it? Not as much rasberry flavor in the mouth as there is in the nose. But there is a strange ’something’ in this beer that i’m not sure I like. I’m not completely turned off by the weird flavor though, and would still order it on occasion when in the mood.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange body with a reddish tint. Aroma is raspberries and too much wheat. Taste is smooth with a weird unpleasant aftertaste.
