All in all a decent brew with a nice berry taste. Could stand to have a little more flaver.

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2003 Better than expected. Fruity flavor as advertised but not enough to over power the entire beer. Bit of bite at the finish. Much more flavor when had on tap.

Very hazzy peach color with a nice head of white bubbles. Strong respberry aroma. Wheat flavor with a very subtle flavor of respberry.

I had a pint of this off a tap just to try it. And it wasn’t nearly as nasty as these other people make it out to be. I’m not a huge fruit beer fan. but i can enjoy a pint or two from time to time. This was smooth with a nice raspberrie tone that wasn’t overpowering. went down very easy. I wouldn’t buy a sxier or anything but i’d buy another pint if i was in th mood

12 oz single. Hazy pale golden with a large ,tight,bubbly white head, good laceing. Loved the aroma of this one, the raspberries are really well highlighted and as i love the smell of raspberries thats enough for me. The raspberry isnt quite as pronounced in the taste, its rather subdued and in the background to the, wheaty,grassy flavours. Palate lets this one down, very watery. Too limp. Overall a mixed bag, but i suppose OK.

I have had 3 raspberry wheats this week; this is not the worst. Good as a refreshing summer brew, but not a strong wheat underpinning. I would have it again, but I’d try something new first.

Bottle. Hazy orange body, small fast fading had. Tart fruity raspberry aroma. Slightly sweeter raspberry in the flavour, not much else. Average palate. Pleasant but fairly dull. Needs more everything as is often the case with raspberry wheats. Thanks Harry!

Was disappointed in this one. Raspberry nonexistant. Definitely a decent wheat. Was expecting more Raspberry. Leinenkugel Berry Weiss is still the best in this reviewers opinion if Fruit Beer appeals to you.

Bottle. Poured a somewhat rosy amber with somewhat of a head. Not much in way of aroma, just some flowery malitiness. Fairly smooth mouthfeel at first with raspberries hidden in there somewhere. A good, easy to drink beer, but too light for me.

Pours a hazy pink/salmon color from the bottle, bubbly head that stays around the edge. Aromas of cheap frozen berries you’d find in the frozen section of the super market. Tastes very light and carbonated, with distinctive raspberry and subtle blueberry. I remembered this being heavier (and better) in New Orleans. Still a good one.
