Southern Tier Raspberry Wheat Beer

Brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Lakewood, New York USA

Bottle. Light straw body, white head, raspberry nose. Starts with raspberry, watery in the middle, nasty astringent finish. No malt, hop or wheat character.

Pours macro looking with a pee clear color and a small but foamy head. Aroma is what one would expect, cheap syrup raspberry with a blank wheat base. Taste is soda like raspberry and very light and watery. Faint spikes on the mouthfeel but really light. Why phone it in Southern Tier?
12oz bottle, Southampton shaker glass.

golden color some decent foam nose is fake but ok i guess lots of carbonation the flavor has not features other then maybe rasberry extract. ok but not up to standards of this brewery, at Joes

Straw color with a diminishing white head. Raspberry aromas with a hint of apple skin and the slightest amount of malt in the backdrop. Quite sweet in the start with raspberry syrup and dries out, until the finishes, which seems to be like a dry raspberry flavored sparkling water. Quite different. I like how it dries out and becomes quenching verses sugary and sticky. This is a good hot summer day type brew. To be honest not much of a beer, but a decent drink to slake your thirst and it looks like a standard pale lager.

Bottle from Jeff, thanks. This knocked one off my want list and now that I have drank it, it will not be back on the want list. Bland, ugly looking, and not really what I was expecting, this was a pretty big disappointment. It looks like Budweiser sans the head in the glass. Smell has some noticeable raspberry flavors but thats about it. Taste has a sharp bitterness that I was not expecting at all. When I drink a fruit beer, I expect it to be a fruit beer, and not a disguised hopped up pilsner with some raspberry shit injected into it. Not a really good beer, and rather disappointing. Someone on this site would give this beer a 4.7 for being a completely unique beer with no finish!

Bottle 355 ml
Appearance :Very finely hazed, golden wheat with medium, bright head.
Nose : Fresh fruity , sweet raspberry. Think of hard candy with raspberry flavour.
Flavour/Palate : Thin with visible carbonation. Slightly less sweet than nose suggested but still sugars were there. Overall quiet plain and to sweet to be refreshing.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is mostly raspberry. wheat, and some grassiness. Flavor is almost all raspberry until the finish with some toasted malts and some grass. Also has a tart finish. This beer is ok but a little too much raspberry.

THOUGHTS: Not awful, but nothing special either. A little to metallic for my taste. Also to much fruit and not enough beer flavor. Plus I prefer my wheat beers unfiltered. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light to medium yellow with a small, white head that mostly diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was raspberry and fruit juice raspberry. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet, lighly acidic and bitter, while the finish was moderately sweet and bitter and sour with an average duration The flavor was mostly raspberry. It was sweet raspberry at first then a more sour, bitter raspberry in the finish. A little wheat in the flavor, but if it did say it was a wheat beer on the lable I might not have noticed. The light body was dry and very fizzy with a metallic finish.
