jcwattsrugger (3862), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Aug 25, 2008 on tap-pours a thin white head and gold color. Aroma is mild raspberry, honey. Taste is raspberry, honey, wheat, secondary continental hops (perle). porterhouse (922), Alna, Maine, USA Aug 6, 2008 (Bottle (labelled as "Oxford Organic Raspberry Wheat", best before 9/08, from 1828 Vintage House) Pours lightly reddish light amber, cloudier on last pour. Tall, meringue-like white head. Strong initial aroma of fresh berries but as head recedes it turns sourish and wheaty. Mouthfeel a little thin, light soda effervescence, light and fairly smooth. Dabs and patches of weepy broken lacing. Flavor is lightly wheaty with a sourish tang, notes of raspberry but kind of lost behind the sourish wheat. Not really one of the better-tasting fruit or wheat beers I’ve had. tagz (307), USA Jul 28, 2008 bottle. raspberry is well done. its definitly dominant but not too acidic or artificial tasting. the gritty wheat flavor provides a nice background. the berries might wear on me after a while but the tastes i had were very tasty. underrated - definitely deserves to be in the 3’s. Tmoney99 (3523), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber hue with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Good wheat and rasberry aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium well balanced fruity flavor with a good sweet finish of moderate duration. Good soft drinkable beer. jehoey (705), Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 20, 2008 aroma is wheaty, hints of raspberry. poured redish color with white head. flavor is refreshing spritzy with some raspberry and wheat. easy drinking, summer time fruit beer. nothing complex, but it is what it is type of beer. goes over well with the women I’m sure while still not being a malternative.
