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.

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 at brewery. Light gold with tiny head. Smell is wheat, light fruity tones and raspberry. Raspberry flavoring taste generic. reminds me of a cheap ice cream topping. Nice malt backbone. Lively carbonation. Glad to try but could not do more then a taster.

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.
