branspra (204), Arlington, Virginia, USA Oct 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very clear, light yellow with hardly any head, although what little was there was white and frothy. Heavy aroma of raspberry as you would expect, with hints of wheat and banana. Crisp palate and mouthfeel, very clean finish. Flavor of raspberry and then some wheat. Very light drinking summer beer but light on flavor, particularly with the aromas. rederic (1785), montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 15, 2009 12oz bottle, clean yellow color, with an off-white head, nice raspberry jam, light strawberry fruity nose, with a mild vanilla, wheaty, pale malt note with a hint of floral hop aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet kind of artificial raspberry fruity, light honeyed pale,wheaty malt character, with a candyish fieldberry flavour, and a hint of tartness, leading towards a wheaty, candyish, fruity, raspberry, vanilla, honey finish. checkmatei1 (629), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 8, 2009 Bottle: Poured a clear golden with a raspberry aroma. The flavor was light raspberry and light wheat. Overall, not great. keepersj12 (773), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA Sep 26, 2009 Great raspberry aroma from the pour. Very pale clear yellow with a big head. Flavor is malty sweet with a touch of sour fruit. Finish is thin but very refreshing. fredthecat (174), Canada Sep 26, 2009 smells like rpasbeyr, tastes like cruddy macro wheat. its pinky amber, tastes DRY. dry, a little juicy in taste. hmm nope Boutip (2329), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Sep 21, 2009 Bottle: Poured a super pale yellow color ale with a small pure white foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of fake raspberry juice with weak malt notes. Taste is also dominated by fake raspberry juice with no traces of actual raspberries and weak boring malt backbone. Body is quite thin with OK carbonation. Wow – even worse then expected from a usually fine brewery. WelcomeHome789 (4), Marlton, New Jersey, USA does not count Sep 11, 2009 Aroma has a powerful rasp smell, seams artificial. Almost no head. Strong rasp taste, but smooth at the same time. Finish is average. Bejaaamin (110), London, Ontario, Canada Sep 11, 2009 murky bright yellow, clears up after a few, thin large bubbled head.
nose is very interesting, grains, wet herbs, vegetal, all sorts of fresh berries, mostly raspberry, but the rasps arent overpowering. there was something else on the nose i couldnt quite put a name too, until i went to the bathroom, it smelt like your first morning piss after a night of drinking lots of good beers.
taste; very sweet upfront, light rasp, dry uncooked flour, nowhere similar to the nose, bland in comparison.
