3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: FEB 28, 2008 This beer actually carries a story with it. A friend of mine and i went beer hunting and found this one. As we were walking back from the parking lot to our house it started to rain really hard so we ran through it. As soon as i got through the front door the bag ripped and the 6 pack fell to the ground with the horrifying shatter of broken glass. I picked it up expecting the worst only to find that one bottle had taken it all for the team. I dont mean that it was slightly broken, this bottle had been obliterated into shards. Only one bottle though, fate on our side perhaps that we were destined to taste this brew? ha ha anyways heres the review:
Pours a nice golden light cloudy amber as a classic wheat beer does. Not much head on this one. Aroma is of sweet raspberries and wheat. Very refreshing flavor on the palate with a nice crisp finish. The only criticism i have on this one is that i wouldve liked just a pinch more raspberry taste to it but aside from that a solid brew. I really enjoyed this one.

a very unimpressive beer. it definately has something added to the flavor... but i am not sure what it is. unimpressive.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, average head. Tart raspberry aroma. Dryish, light and clean. Though simple it’s drinkable and refreshing. No bitterness. A well made beer in a pointless style.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
pours a peachy whitish color with a bit of cloudy haze - while not quite purple, close enough i suppose! faint aroma of wheat and berry, though i wouldn’t have guessed raspberries specifically. lightly sweet and fruity, thin-bodied but not bad. unremarkable, but might be nice if it were hot outside...
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours orange with a fluffy white head. The aroma has light cough syrup style raspberries, rich wheat malt and hints of pepper. It has a light crisp body with frothy, yet somehow sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with the fake medicinal raspberries. The finish is metallic and very uninviting. Part of a gift sampler pack - I won’t be having this one again.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Pours yellow with little head. Crappy aroma that I can’t quite grasp. I have smelled it in other beers and haven’t liked a one.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle. poured a hazy yellowish color. smells of raspberry wine. has a lager like taste with a hint of raspberries. decent.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
I never liked this beer. It was always kind of a chic beer to me. Has a very plain American wheat lack of structure, and a finish of raspberry extract. Not the best offering from Abita.
