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.

Draft at Tap and Mallet in Rochester. Pours red with a thin white head. Sweet aroma, a bit tart, and all raspberry. Light, crisp body. Flavor is sweet raspberry juice and not much else. Although there is a good balance of sweet/sourness. It’s at least refreshing.

Pours an amber color with a slight pink tint to it and a white head. Aroma is light with caramel malts, wheat, and raspberry. Flavor is also light with caramel, wheat, and raspberry. No lingering flavor. Not good.

Yellow pour with an over the top head. I taste the wheat beer but the raspberry is seriously lacking. This is not a bad brew just lackluster

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

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.

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...
