Commercial Description:
Crisp and lightly malted, this Golden Wheat Ale is distinguished by its natural raspberry flavour. A one of a kind taste unlike most traditional beers, this unique and refreshing brew is only available during the summer.

341 ml bottle from NSLC. Pours a hazy orange/gold with a small moderate sized off-white head that disappears fairly quickly. Sweet raspberry smell. Fairly strong taste of raspberries, tarter than in the nose, with some grains. Relatively light mouthfeel and quick finish.

Pours a pale straw sort of color with virtually no head. Aroma is very much raspberry with some nice malty or wheatlike backing. Flavor is light and pleasant but with a fairly high taste of raspberries. Not overly hoppy, but there is a somewhat distinct wheat taste. It’s somewhat metallic and tangy. Carbonation is pretty high and mouthfeel isn’t too bad, not creamy, but not watery.

I like that you don’t need to use your imagination to taste the raspberry nor does it over power. I wish there was a bit more body and bit more zing to the finish.

Bottle. Pleasant aroma of raspberries, followed by a metallic touch. Orange/Yellow in colour with high carb. Fizzy head. Thin in flavour, watery. Sweet hint of raspberries. Reminded of flavoured water you can get in the shops. Flavour comes and goes. Little to much carb and more flavour please.

POurs hazy gold with light notes of raspberry. I enjoy the nuanced fruit flsvor with a big wheat backbone. The finish has a nice balance of fruit and wheat.
