hotstuff (3038), Indiana, USA Jan 11, 2004 Bottle. A very small white head with fine sized bubbles that quickly and completely dissipated. The body was slightly hazy and carbonated with a pale yellow-gold hue. The nose was sweet and mild raspberry. The flavor was sweet and a very light raspberry taste. The mouthfeel was flat, boring, watery and thin. This was a very light bodied beer with very sparse amounts of lacing. Not a fruit beer that I would recommend.
mike5203 (33), Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2008 great wheat beer, smell of raspberrys is not overwhelming, nor is the flavor. It is slightly sweet, but not too much. Nice summer beer riversideAK (1570), Shoreline, Washington, USA Aug 21, 2008 Gold cloudy pour with a decent head. Aromas of raspberry and wheat malt. Flavor is light with notes of raspberry seltzer and cereal grains. Light and unobtrusive. fata2683 (86), APO, New York, USA Aug 21, 2008 This smelled and looked really good. Cloudy, rasberry’s and yeast....but this dissapointed it’s too sweet which I thought with the rasberry’s being fresh and not artificial it would be sour and not sweet, but it was and it masks what may be a good wheat underneath. FlssmrBrewAlum (197), South Chicago Suburbs, Illinois, USA Aug 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of another friend at a tasting. Several fruit beers, eh? This bad boy looked really good on pour, cloudy muted gold color with a decent head that unfortunately dissipates quickly. Lighter raspberry aromas that are light upon taste and mour sour than sweet (Always a plus). Some wheaty malt characteristics that are very enjoyable. More refreshing and lighter bodied than the other offering I had, but less taste and character. A decent fruit beer that I’d drink again. Sparky27 (516), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with 2 finger off-white head. Nose is mainly sweet wheat with some raspberries in the background. Taste is malt and wheat with raspberries in the finish. Medium mouth feel. I’ve put off trying this beer as I thought it would be too sweet and fruity, but the raspberry flavor complement the taste rather than dominates. That being said, it’s still not that great but better than I thought it would be.
