Cloudy peach-wheat color, ok head. Gentle, whispering coalescence of raspberry and wheat, kissed by honeysuckle delights the olfactory senses. Medium-bodied with a generic berryish alcohol flavor. Wheaty fullness. Sweet raspberry sugar finish.

my beer was literally without aroma. the taste was astringent with carbonation exactly like seltzer water. the flavor was cheap champagne with a real enough flavor of raspberry that could not of itself cure my disappointment.

Location: Draft at the Brewery, 7/10/10

Aroma: The nose is fairly sweet with lots of raspberry syrup, and candied sugar
Appearance: It pours a mostly clear golden looking color with a small white head
Flavor: The taste is rather sweet, pretty much raspberry sweetness and wheat
Palate: The palate on this one is pretty light, it is crisp enough, and pretty drinkable too
Overall Impression: As far as wheat beers with fruit syrup added to them go this one isn’t too bad. I didn’t love it, but it was decent for what it is and what it is trying to be.

Draft. Pours hazy golden yellow with a white head. Light wheaty aroma with a light fruity sweetness. The flavor has some raspberry sweetness on a wheaty base. Light and drinkable.

Tap @ Boston/NY 2009. Slight fruity note, raspberry, wheat. Dryish. Slight sourish and not very sweet, which is a good thing. But im not a big fan of dominant raspberry.

On tap. Was surprised to like this beer. Lots of bright cherry which overwhelms the wheat. While lots of fruit flavour, no real sweetness. Good for 1 pint or "something different".

I had Chelsea Raspberry Wheat on tap at a bar in Manhattan. The beer has an unclear amber red color with a thin head. The aroma is sweet and full of raspberry and wheat aroma. The flavor it sweet with a tart raspberry flavor. I enjoy everything about this beer except the exagerated tart finish.

Draft at House of Brews. Pours a hazy yellow gold body. Aroma is raspberry. Taste is rapsberry, wheat, and tons of blueberry. Good fruit beer.

Half pint draught. Reddish golden colour. Cloudy with a medium-sized nice creamy white head. Rich aroma with a slightly sweet raspberry aroma. Feels really thin when it enters the mouth. Very crisp from both carbonation and bittering hops. Weak raspberry flavours. Lacks the bready richness of a weissbier. No aftertast to speak of.
