Short small head, off white. Smells of sugar and raspberry. Very over the top with the fruit and sweetness. Simple.

Jun 27, 2008 12 oz. Foggy, orange-copper with a small, but lasting head. Aroma is tart raspberry. Flavor is the same, with a touch of dry wheat. The light body is smooth, but acidic-tingly, and crisp on the finish. Pretty much what you would expect from a well-done raspberry wheat.

May 29, 2008 Bottle. Pour is a slighly reddish amber color with a two finger or so head that is kind of soapy looking. Aromas are grainy with a touch of raspberry. Flavor is watery but has a nice little crips tartness from the raspberry presence. Not going to win any awards from me, but not bad...

May 27, 2008 Bottled as Oxford Organic Raspberry Wheat Beer. Sweet, syrupy, cloying raspberry aroma. Pours pink-tinged orange with a beige head. Taste a little flat, dry wheaten notes overpowering the sweet raspberry, which serves as a nice accent. Malt base is a bit weak and thin, as is the body and feel. Comparison with seltzer or mineral water is apt; taste isn’t too far behind, reminds of the flavored bottled water that is en vogue these days. Very mild and timid. Slightly disappointing as this brewer has certainly brought the noise, the funk, and the robust flavor in other brews.

May 18, 2008 Sampled as Oxford Organic Raspberry Wheat Beer, brand new in May 08. Amber with red hues on the pour, normal head and lacing. Strong raspberry aromas over top of a light wheat base. The flavor was predictable from the aroma, sweet raspberries, syrupy, light than the amber, yet still too sweet to be thirst quenching. I think I could enjoy a raspberry wheat beer in the summer if only the raspberry was a faint background accent. Too bad brewers don’t ever try to pull that off vs. making seltzer sugar water.
