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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.
