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.

Red to gold in colour. Sweet and bland with sweetish raspberry flavour. More like an alco-pop than a credible fruit beer.

Very light beer, with raspberry flavoring. I guess they’re trying to attract mainstream drinkers in search of something a little bit different.

Poured a lighter golden color with a huge, frothy (5 finger) head. Some floaties. Strong Raspberry aroma. Raspberry in the taste (not as strong as the smell) and some malts. Fizzy and light body.

Sparkling clear, light amber/dark golden lager. Small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is not really heavy on fruit. Very subtle raspberry. Fruity and tart flavor with a whisper of malt. Balanced nicely by lightly bitter hops. Light-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Short, crisp, tart finish. A touch grassy at the very end. Very nice brew for the style.
