Pours a deep, hazy, orange color with a tall, bubbly, white head. Aroma has a strong fruity raspberry note, mild wheat, light sweetness and mild noble hops note. Flavor has a very nice raspberry fruitiness that tastes exactly like the real fruit vs. the extract. Light taste of mild noble hops with a wheat is presence late. Body is light with a very crisp texture. Lots of carbonation is present in this brew. Overall a great beer. One of the first fruit beers where the fruit flavor tastes real. Definitely a solid beer for the warm weather and one that was surprising since the other beers I have had from this brewery were so-so.

light amber with one finger head. there’s an aroma of raspberries, but the flavor is extremely faint. the wheat beer underneath is boring. nothing going on flavor-wise.

It poued an orange color with a small white head. The aroma was some raspberry and yeast. The flavor was also a decent amount of the raspberry with some wheat at the end. A decent raspberry wheat beer.

12 oz. bottle; It seamed to have a pink hue as it poured a slightly clowdy golden color with a 1 finger head that didn’t last long. The aroma of raspberry was present. The flavor also had raspberries but somewhat artificial with other typical wheat beer flavors.

Bottle.
Pours an average cheddar orange with a nice white head and an aroma of overly malted fruit nuts, rotten raspberry, and a touch of plumb. Flavor is honey malt, light roasted fruit, sweet vinegar, and cereal. Average mouthfeel. Raspberry? Where?

Pours golden / yellow with a sudsy white head. The aroma has lots of real raspberries, clean american wheat, light spice and a pith quality. Medium / light body with sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with a light sweetness, subtle raspberries, dry american wheat and a light graininess The finish is spicy and on the medicinal side. Decent fruit wheat beer.

Orangish-red color, with a quickly dissappearing head. Smells very sweet, almost like kool-aid. Hmm...okay, it kind of tastes like this. Take the previously mentioned raspberry kool-aid, make it a bit more bitter, and thicken it up. Thats about what you have here. Not too bad actually,

12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy golden colored body with an orange tint. Finger-width, dense and frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is sweet, fruity raspberries and a mild wheat malt. A bit sugary at times with some yeast. Flavor is similar. Not quite as sugary raspberry as the aroma, but still fairly sweet. More mild wheat malts and a moderate, balancing raspberry. Finishes with some yeast, more wheat, and a faint grass before slowly drying with a shorter aftertaste. Medium body and moderately fizzy carbonation. Overall, an unexciting, but tasty fruit-wheat beer. Not overly sweet or too bland, but well balanced and refreshing. Okay.

12 oz. bottle picked up at the brewery. This beer is clear golden with a short lived white head. Distinct raspberry nose that overrides everything else. Flavor is also raspberries with a light dirtiness to them. Very light citrus fruit notes and deep down cloves are tasted. This is a raspberried up version of their wheat beer and it is not a bad fruit beer.

4/29/10. 12oz bottle into a pint glass. The pour is cloudy orange with suspension all under a creamy white head that doesn’tace at all. The aroma is hinting at skunk with creamed corn, rotten fruit, and a dash of sour raspberry. The flavor is bland wheat with a hint of oven baked raspberry flavor. Though not awesome on the flavor, it’s much better than the aroma.

Hazy straw colored body with a foamy white head. Light and pleasant aroma that is pretty much all raspberry with a hint of malt. Medium mouthfeel. This is a fine fruit beer. There’s a flavor of fresh raspberries, instead of the overpowering artificial flavor you get sometimes with fruit beers. Very smooth and semi-sweet. Refreshing and tasty. Thumbs up.
