What do you get when you cross an unremarkable American wheat brew with a hint of fake rasberry flavor?
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20

1.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
On-tap at ABC. Their fall fruited wheat seasonal.
A: The pour is a cloudy orange kissed yellow color with a thin white head.
S: Oh lawd, this is just bad. Lots of body odor, cheesy feet, and that special hangover brand of bile. I don’t get any raspberry or wheat, or anything pleasant.
T: The flavor is better (what couldn’t be?), but fairly bland. A mild fake raspberry/raspberry syrup type flavor with some moderate wheat. A bit watery and somewhat of a seltzer type flavor.
M: The body is light to medium with a very high carbonation.
D: I thought some of their other fruited wheat beers were okay, but this was just bad. Pass on this.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the Orange location. Pours with a hazed golden body with a white head. Aroma is wheat and husky grain with light raspberry notes. Flavors are grainy, wheaty, grassy with some raspberry and light fruit (citric) acidity. Not offensive in any way. Fizzy and thin.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft. Hazy pale amber beer with a whitish head. Wheat and light fruit aroma. Fake raspberry flavor with wheat. Medium-light bodied. Artificial raspberry flavor lingers with wheat.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at brewpub; another rather mediocre beer, although not overtly bad. Aroma of raspberry and not much else. Flavor was the same with a bit of wheat base. Ok.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Alcatraz seems to always have a fruit/wheat beer. This one seems to be their Weiss guy w/ some raspberry flavoring.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Orange location. Poured hazy yellowish. Aroma of Wheaties with a touch of raspberry essence. Grainy wheat and cereal followed by a subtle raspberry flavor. Light and refreshing.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap @ Alcatraz 10/07 - Pours a cloudy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is light berry and grain. Flavor is much of the same. Light to medium body. Nothing fancy, but drinkable. Worth a try.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Lightly cloudy with a slight raspberry flavor. pour yielded a very pretty beer but it does not overpower you with oohs and ahhs. The one really nice thing about this beer is that the fruit does not overpower the wheat.
