Raspberry wheats suck, face it. Light gold, almost looks like there should be a haze but aint. Straight up raspberry syrup stuffed into an American Wheat. Initial raspberry fades to expose a solid wheat body, mild hops. Mild carb, gassy, soft finish. Yawn.

En fût au Clocktower. Couleur jaune très pâle, servie avec tranche de citron. Arôme de fruits léger. En bouche, un peu de céréale et de framboise...Léger, douce, bonne.

Part of the sampler tray at the bank street location. Pale in colour. Well carbonated. Very light and refreshng

Originally rated January 2006. Ouch ! This one was served with a lemon slice. Poured a light golden colour with a very slight touch of red. The aroma was kind of sour with some wheat mostly and the raspberry in the back. Even the taste, started on a sour note, then the grain kicked in to finish lightly with the wheat and raspberry. I remember this one being better many, many years ago, but still refreshing... specially in summer.

Aroma is wheat with just a hint of fruit. It looks like a lager, light yellow-green body and little head. Flavour is a good wheat and raspberry mix, with a soft finish. It’s well balanced and refreshing, a good entry point for fruit-style-beer newbies.

Pint at the brewpub. Cloudy yellw color. Very light taste. Subtle notes of rasperry, not too much but its ok like that. Average white.

Hazy yellow appearance, off-white foamy head, slightly bitter hoppy taste, mild carbonation, abrupt finish. Where was the raspberry?

Didn’t get anything from this. None of the typical citrus or banana presence I would expect to get from a wheat beer, and even more bizarre no raspberries. I realy didn’t taste any at all. Had a very acidic taste at the end, but not the citrusy good kind. Just not a good beer.

pours clear straw yellow with a decent white head, some retention and lacing. aroma is fresh raspberries and grains. wheat is absent to me. hops too. fairly acidic raspberry purée, a little disturbing. harsh carbonation, light body.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours a slightly hazy gold with an average size semi-lasting frothy white head. Decent lacing. Aroma of wheat and light sugary raspberries. Flavour of wheat, grain and light raspberry. Mild bitter finish. Average bodied. It’s O.K., it would make an easy to drink Summer beer.

pours a pale yellow with a small head that quickly fades away. not very aromatic, a little grainy and grassy. odd for a wheat beer. no raspberry present in the bouquet at all. taste is very light, with a syrup taste on the finish. it’s not that this beer is bad, it just isn’t good. there’s nothing going on here at all.
