Draft at Alpine with Andrew, Brendan and the big boy daddy dad Bachelor, Dallas. Draft sampled at the brewery taste room. Pours a lightly cloudy yellow body with thin white lacing. Aroma is fresh raspberries. Mouthfeel is thin with notes of raspberry, dry fruit, and some vanilla.

Taster at the brewery. Pours a fizzy yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is fairly one dimensional with raspberries and some light sweet malts. The flavor is raspberries, a bit of dry tart candies and a hint of biscuit. The palate is light and the carbonation is lively. Finishes long and dry with lingering berries. Overall: a very enjoyable brew.

A decent offering, well worth the money and i’d possibly get it again. Just didn’t knock my socks off. Overly fruity and sweet, i think less is more with fruit, and this one is substandially better than the mandarin nextar, more wheat in the body, actually quite decent.

nightrider (751) - encinitas, California, USA - JUN 20, 2010
On tap t the brewery. Golden color with an aroma of sweet fruit and slightly floral. Light bodied beer with some light raspberry flavor. Kind of a fun beer to sample on a warm beer.

Sample Today at the Brewery, tasty fruit beer. Pours gold with a white head just like Whilly, and it has a really nice razzy taste, with a nice smooth finish.

hopscotch (8212) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - AUG 15, 2008
Draft… RBSG’08… Clear straw-colored ale with a small, creamy, white head. Sort of a raspberry extract aroma with hints of vanilla and grain. Light-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Extremely well-balanced, but thin. Fruity and grainy; light sweetness and light bitterness. Crisp, fruity, mildly bitter finish. Refreshing.

On tap at the brewery. Lots of rasberry in the smell. A lot less in the taste. Overall not a bad fruit beer.

cbkschubert (2867) - BFE, Arizona, USA - APR 2, 2008
Tap @ the brewery - Pours a slightly hazy light golden color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor is like Willy with the addition of raspberries. Light to medium body. It’s actually pretty easy to drink. A good beer to share with friends.

Sampled on tap at the brewery, whi8le picking up a growler of nelson. Pour lightly yellow with a whithe head and lots of carbonation. smell like and american wheat with a hint of fruit flavor. tasted like an american wheat with raqsberry added. This was ok, but i think the rasberry actual takes away from the wheat. Give me Willy of Mandarian Nectar anyday.
