Commercial Description:
In Belgium, one of the world’s greatest brewing regions, the tradition of blending fruit with beer has achieved cult status. We decided to create an American interpretation that we present as Oxford Raspberry. The beer is light and refreshing and finished with real raspberries giving it a fruity aroma, and quenching tartness.

A wonderfully aromatic beer from what is becoming a favorite brewer. Pours a light crimson, translucent, looks somewhat dull. Aroma of ripe raspberries, very striking, reminds me of a raspberry lambic, however this doesn’t translate well in the flavor, somewhat flat raspberries are almost non-existant in the flavor, however has a crisp clean aftertaste. Overall a decent enough beer that I would purchase again.

Looks and smells brilliant. Very light, but refreshing. I didn’t think I’d be a fan but it would be pretty good sitting on the beach. Raspberry flavor is really fresh. It is really light though. I’d much rather have a real beer, but if my girlfriend sent me to the store to buy Smirnoff Ice I would definetely buy this instead.

Fruity, tart raspberry aroma. Pinkish hue to the body, bubbly brew with a thin but head. Other than the raspberry flavor the beer was thin and watery. I guess more of a summer beer, but I’d prefer more body to a fruit beer.

Aroma is a mix of malts and raspberries...this is the first beer I have ever seen that is actually pink. I had it out of a 1/6 barrel, and found the raspberry flavor to be huge, with the ending being tart, with almost a sparkling wine mouthfeel. The head was pretty weak. It had a very crisp and taste, and went down very easy. A very different experience, but a pleasant one.

After driniking this I’m sure Raspeberries belong in ice tea or coolers. Was not as bad as I expected however I prefer a slight hint of a fruit but this was more overpowering. Looked slightly cloudy but poured a good head.

Poured a lighter golden color with a huge, frothy (5 finger) head. Some floaties. Strong Raspberry aroma. Raspberry in the taste (not as strong as the smell) and some malts. Fizzy and light body.

I cannot believe I am drinking this ... I should be wearing a skirt. Anyways, the taste of raspberry on the palate is subtle, but gets a little better as the beer goes down. I have add Raspberry wheats before, many of which are much better. This one is average at best ... nothing special.
