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.

Bottle. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of sweet raspberry and wheat. Flavor is tart raspberry, wheat and a touch of honey. Light bodied with soft carbonation and a crisp and sweet finish.

Uh yeah.. not sure why I bought this one. I didnt know what it was, and since I am running out of beer to buy locally that I havent had (except for all of the English beers), I figured what the hell. It was only a dollar. When I went to open it, I noticed the ’clipper city’ on the cap and thought to myself: "oh shit". Those guys brew alot of beers, and not many of them are good with the exception of hop3 (that shit is great!), but this beer falls into the not so good category. Bland, not sour, raspberry flavors which are fake tasting. Not a really good beer, not much to say about it either.
