Draft at the West Chester location, July 2006. A yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma has very powerful notes of raspberries and is very sweet - I find the raspberry note a bit artificial. The flavor is sweet with a bit weird, but very powerful raspberry note, on a sligtly acidic wheaty back ground. The end is dry wheaty with an artificial note of raspberries lingering.

hazy yellow, wispy white head, sweet malt aroma with a pronounced raspberry tartness, rich sweet honey malt flavor provides a good foundation for a lot of raspberry flavor, tartness from the raspberry balances the honey sweetness, light bitter finish

Clear straw body with medium white head. Aroma is raspberry. Taste is light sweet, definitely raspberry, a bit of tartness. Light watery body.

On Tap. Poured a light hazy yellow with a small white head. Strong dominating raspberry aroma. Tastes of light raspberries (not as strong as the aroma would leave you to believe) and light wheat. Watery body.

My Bottom Line:
Syrupy raspberries burst from the well-fed pale maltiness and the judicious leafy hopping takes this Raspberry Wheat to uncommonly appreciable levels for the "style".

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A coat of foam tops the hazy blond.
-I honestly expected a lot less interesting of a beer and was thus pleasantly surprised; so many of these Raspberry Wheat concoctions are mailed in...
-Some wheaty tartness hooked itself onto the raspberry fruitiness.
-The aroma was full of raspberries, but of the sugary kind.
-The slow carbonation helped the palate to analyze the rich maltiness.
-I’m not sure the base beer fits with the raspberries, but that’s just me.
