Pours with a deep golden body with reddish highlights. The head is thin and quickly disappears and no lace is left on the glass. Strong raspberry aroma with a malty wheat background. Strong raspberry flavor with hints of maltiness. Tastes like a raspberry soda. I guess if I wanted to get drunk on raspberry soda I would drink this stuff. Smooth and light bodied with a soda like feel
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 Thorpe429 (3823) - Alexandria, Virginia, USA - APR 14, 2011
Reviewed from notes. On tap at the brewpub in August 2009.
Pours a clean golden color with perhaps only the tiniest bit of haze. Good white head and some nice lacing. The nose is semi-tart wheat along with a good dose of raspberry. The taste is wheat and raspberry and not too much else. Not terribly complex, but pretty nice. Light body and easy drinking. Nice that this doesn’t taste like so many fruit APWAs that are just over the top syrupy and fake.
Serving type: on-tap

On tap @ Liquid Bread. Light yellow appearance with a tiny bit of haziness. Nice raspberry, light wheaty aroma. Fairly dominant and actually pretty good raspberry flavor. Surprisingly, I like the wheat body in this beer better than their normal American Wheat ale. Slightly fruity aftertaste. A pretty good fruit wheat beer.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Hays, Kansas. Hazy, light yellow pour with no head of any kind, fruity nose with some apricot and blueberry, nice sweetness but light fruitiness, very nuanced flavor. Soft finish. Among the finest raspberry beers I’ve ever had.

This actually had some nice fruit to it, tasted like real fruit as opposed to artifical extract flavors. Some cereal wheat maltiness. Light bodied and drinkable.

On tap at brewery. Pours a hazy dainty golden. Light head retention. Aroma is raspberry syrup kind of. As much as I can’t believe I’m saying this, this was much more enjoyable then their American Wheat...there is actually some wheaty body and flavor with this one. Real raspberries? Don’t know.

UPDATED: MAR 13, 2007 Pours pale, clear yellow with a thin white head. The aroma is mostly raspberry. The flavor starts with raspberry with some astringency (hints of solvent-like alcohol flavors - maybe its just my brain’s reaction to the obviously fake raspberry - it probably came from real raspberries, but certainly not real fresh fruit, but rather an extract). There is some malt and wheat flavor present, also, but not much. It tastes like they added raspberry extract to their american wheat ale.

This had kind of a kool-aid aroma to it, almost perfumey. Again, I am hardly ever impressed with fruit beers and this is no exception. Grainy and toasty cereal maltiness, with some syrupy sweet fruit flavors.
