This had a yellow and pink colored body with a long lasting white head. There was lots of lace on the glass. The aroma was sweet raspberry with some hay and flowers. The taste was raspberries with some dry hay. This was smooth. A solid fruit wheat.

Can from Blue Dog Lansdale. Pours turbid orangy pinkish with 2-finger fizzy white head. Nose is earthy fresh raspberries, hops, citrus. Tastes crisp, with a front palate of fresh raspberries, earthy citrus, mild hops, and a refreshing finish. Reminds me of a junior version of Sly Fox Black Raspberry Wheat, and is a nice example of this style.

Orange-red like tinit in color no head. Aroma and flavor very muted, faint strawberry and slight skunk setting in. Absolutely no wheat character whatsoever. Very thin body.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a light golden yellow with active carbonation. Light aroma of berries. Taste is a bit sour up front changing quickly into a balanced blend of sweet and hop. Ends with moderate crispness. More of a wine cooler.

Pours a light brown/pinkish color. Smell is of raspberry, wheat. Taste is tart, raspberry, a touch of grain. Overall an easy drinking warm weather beer.

On tap at brewpub. Comes a hazy gold with a decent off-white head. Aroma of raspberries and wheat. Taste is similar. Very sweet. Didn’t get any hops. Wife loved it. O.K.

Clear golden with no head. Sweet raspberry seltzer aroma and taste with candy sugar notes.

Draught glass at a party. Looks like this varies pretty big by batch. To me the base wheat seemed a little weak and was overpowered by rather un-natural raspberries flavors..just seemed like a syrup more than fresh berries.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
4 oz sample at the brewpub. Pour is hazed golden with white and ruby highlights. Aroma of not a whole bunch, what is there is raspberry syrup. Taste is syrupy raspberry wheatiness. Palate is bright sour acidic, long chemically finish. I Have not run into one of these brewpub fruit flavored wheat beers that I like.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a golden pinkish color like a dark red grapefruit juice. It is capped by a thin white head that can be roused with a swirl, but it doesn’t last very long for a wheat brew. The nose is like raspberry candy with a light wheat backing. Light-bodied and soft with a slightly tart, acidic finish. Raspberries over soft wheat, it finishes somewhat astringent. While the description says that they use fresh raspberries, the flavor falls somewhere between an extract and a true fresh berry flavor. This one’s not too bad, but the flavor faded as I got deeper into the glass. Seeing the other scores that this beer has "earned" from experienced raters, I might have to give this one a second chance the next time I’m in town.
