tap at the brewpub - The aroma is of course of raspberries. It has a light, sweet raspberry flavor. It’s refreshing though on the thin side. Not bad.

(Draught) Pours a lightly hazy golden body with a spare white head. Aroma of raspberry syrup, artificial sweetener, wheat, and tea leaves. Flavor of raspberry candy, cough syrup/medicinal, and wheat.

(On draught at cruisers). Pours hazy yellow with pink hue and thin white head. Light carbonation. Aroma is mostly raspberry with some wheat. Taste is sweet with the raspberry and some bitterness. Medium bodied with slick mouthfeel. Smooth finish. Ok beer that almost has a raspberry creamsickle feel.

Draught at Spenser’s Pub in Williams, AZ wearing pajamas...long story. Rather disappointing to me. Maybe I got a bad batch but I would think this was fresh since the brewery is down the street from the hotel. The aroma was mostly perfume and the flavour reminded me of sugary, sweet Starbust candies. Just seemed mish-mashed because one second was wheat and the next was candy. Weird.

On tap @ GCBC - Pours a hazy orange color with a thin white head. Flavor and aroma is raspberry. Light to medium body. No unpleasant aftertaste. A decent fruit beer.

Pours a golden honey color with a heavy raspberry aroma. Crisp raspberry aftertaste. A very light wheat beer.

Similar to the Grand Canyon Wheat, but with a nice injection of raspberry flavors and aromas. Spices were peppery and slightly zingy. Raspberry was jammy-sweet with nice aromas to boot, as well as the slightest pinch of tartness. Decently balanced beer. I was surprised at how refreshing it was.
