On tap at Kraftbrau. Cloudy yellow body, thin off-white head. Light raspberry syrup aroma. The flavor was surprisingly subtle, with light notes of raspberry merely complementing the wheat malts and banana/clove yeast flavors. The latter dominates the flavor profile. This could be classified as a Hefeweizen because of the sparing use of raspberry to enhance the palate. Perhaps this is a pathway for brewers who want to use fruit to accentuate, rather than dominate, their beers to follow. Light-bodied, refreshing, and well-done. A good one to finish before the New Pornographers show at the hot, smoky, dirty Club Soda.
