COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In Belgium, one of the world’s greatest brewing regions, the tradition of blending fruit with beer has achieved cult status. We decided to create an American interpretation that we present as Oxford Raspberry. The beer is light and refreshing and finished with real raspberries giving it a fruity aroma, and quenching tartness.

Excellent color, very smooth/clean taste, plesant aroma. You couldn't ask for anything more from a raspberry wheat!

This was a great beer. I liked the taste of rasberry's with the wheat. Very good, got it from a friend who got it in his beer club. Nice color, and smelled good.

Fruity aroma, clear darkish appearance. Very fruity (raspberry) flavored. Sweet and very easy to drink. Good to drink on it’s own if you are looking for something a bit different.

bottle.. very clear from pour and almost no head. you can smell the raspberries as you pour it - very nice, although the raspberry taste is dominating. overall very good for a fruity beer!

A wonderfully aromatic beer from what is becoming a favorite brewer. Pours a light crimson, translucent, looks somewhat dull. Aroma of ripe raspberries, very striking, reminds me of a raspberry lambic, however this doesn’t translate well in the flavor, somewhat flat raspberries are almost non-existant in the flavor, however has a crisp clean aftertaste.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2005 Amberish with a small head. Looks awfully nice. Sweet realistic raspberry aroma- not an extract or candylike... smells like the raspberries I picked off the bushes as a child. Flavor is fantastic. It;s wheaty- not sweet, with the real raspberry flavor... this certainly isn’t a jollyrancher dropped in some Miller Lite- this is real fruit added to a decent beer. It’s smooth (yet not crisp) and finishes with a bietter true fruit flavor that I have yet to find in a fruit beer. Great.

Bottle. Pours gold with a pink hue. Aroma promises rasberry, the taste delivers ! Well done fruit beer, not too sweet, just enough rasberry without being too much.
