Cask at some random JDW in Glasgow. Unattractive red amber colour with a crappy white head. Egg and sulphur nose with very slight raspberry. Flavour is that of a lifeless ale with some very faint unidentifyable fruit. Yes ok of course it’s raspberry but I would never have guessed if I didn’t know. Sticky palate, especially in the finish. Gotta love the Cask Marque assured quality beer at JDW... KnutAlbert (2322), Oslo, Norway Aug 28, 2007 Cask @ Crystal Palace, Glasgow.
Soft beer with a fine berry flavour, sweet, while not cloyingly so. I rather liked this, but it was more interesting than great, perhaps. One glass is enough. Pub (4123), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Jul 8, 2007 Cask conditioned at Merton Beer festival ’07. Pinkish brown with slight head. I do struggle with fruit beers, my wife loved this but I find them a little challenging. Yes, the Raspberries were very evident and fresh tasting and the Witbier background was also evident, but I cannot overcome my, probably prejudice against them.

Aroma hits you with tart rasberry, excellent xactly what i want, then the rubbish beer cuts throguh it and distroys what could have been great. Taste is tart real rasberry juice, then again a terrible overly malty backing offends me. Could have been a great, but loses it due to the terrible beer base. cgarvieuk (2541), Edinburgh, Scotland Jun 15, 2007 Edinburgh Beer festival 2007 ... Light orangy pink colour ... fruity fresh raspberry nose ... light fresh raspberry juice with a light touch of hop.
