Raccoon Lodge Razberry Wheat

Aroma of fresh raspberries and a hint of wheat perhaps. Pours a reddish orange color. Nice fresh tart raspberry flavors combine with a very light wheat malt. Tart quenching finish. Super fresh. Ron makes great fruit beer.

I had this taster at the 2006 OBF. bright color of pink Kool-Aid. nice fruit aroma. very fizzy (maybe from some kind of secondary fermintation?) very light bodied and very refreshing.

Draft at the brewery. Cloudy light golden amber with a modest tan head. Nice floral raspberry notes, very fruity and natural smelling--no juice concentrate notes or any of that business you sometimes fear with session fruit beers. Creamy medium body with assertive, pleasant carb and a bit of pleasing grain on the tongue. Definite wheat, grain, and raspberry notes on the mid-palate. Refreshing, drinkable, clean, and straightforward. You can drink this one as fast as you want, or as long as you want, but probably not both. Nice stuff.

On tap at Raccoon Lodge. Pours a cloudy pink/orange with a lacy white head. Lightly sour raspberry wheat aroma. Light body and carbonation. The taste reminded me of rhubarb, but in a good way. Crisp, clean finish. I figured I’d try this beer just to get the rating, but was really surprised to find a raspberry beer that didn’t suck. It was actually pretty tasty!

Tap @ Raccoon Lodge: Kind of a pale yellow/golden color with a large white head. Nose is plentiful in raspberries, not much wheat. Flavor is full of that same fresh raspberry sweet and tartness combined with just a little wheat and a subtle hopping. This was the sleeper of the sample tray...

On tap at Raccoon Lodge on 6/27/09. Incredible raspberry aroma with touch of bread and vanilla. Pours a nice pink with off-cream head. For the style, the raspberry flavor is dominant and impressive. Perhaps one of the best fruit beers I’ve tried.

Tap @ the brewery. A very popular beer for the brewery. Pours orange with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet razz. Taste is razzy tasty and slightly tart.

Strong raspberry aroma. Clear, deep Cherry 7-Up color with a pinkish head. Thinnish body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is raspberry, followed by wheat, finishing with a little raspberry seed bitter. Clean and refreshing. Likely one of the "better" raspberry concoctions.
