THOUGHTS: A really nice beer that I’ve passed by until I tried it at a party where it was the only beer among wine and liquor. A really nice summer beer that isn’t watered down.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a almost glowing, cloudy, medium pinkish orange with a small to average, white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was raspberry and wheat. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and moderately acidic; while the finish was light to moderately sweet, heavily bitter and sour with an average duration. There was slightly sweet raspberry, wheat and a little yeast then a bunch of very tart raspberry. The light to medium body was dry with soft carbonation and a moderate to heavy astringent finish.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle picked up at Westholme Londis Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed 10-08-08 Poured a light hazy pink with large head quite lovely raspberry aroma although it seemed maybe a little artificial I must confess to still being dragged in by it. Taste was simple, raspberry, little too sweet, some wheat uncomplicated and maybe not true to style but likeable nonetheless
