Red-amber color. Light aroma. No wheat flavor, just similar to a Lager with a light raspberry touch. Correct bitterness.

Jul 4, 2007 Beer is overly sweet with a sugary raspberry taste. Finoshes sticky. I don’t know why this style of beer continues to be popular.

Jun 29, 2006 (Draught) 6oz sample glass reviewed at the brewery. Same nitro-looking (though Gary told me it isn’t nitro?)dissipating white creamy head with a red/copper tinge. Nose is very raspberry without being jammy and artificial. Flavour releases minor tonic water acidic finish. Fairly average - but considering this IS the WALLY WHEAT with only raspberry pulp added, the Raspberry Wheat is MILES AHEAD from its predecessor!

Aug 21, 2005 Light red-orange colour, hazy beer, with a thin white head. Sweet, fruity raspberry aroma. A touch of citric acidity. A bit candyish. Fruity raspberry and some bready malt flavour. No faults, but a pretty standard attempt.

May 29, 2005 Bright amber colour. Clean, sweet raspberry nose. Fairly bland with a slight kiss of raspberry and vague bready malts. Quick finish. Yes, it’s meant to be light and unassertive but the malts are too toasty and raspberry too laid back. Moreover, it’s not terribly complex, even by raspberry wheat standards.
