Mode: Draft
Source: Brewpub

hazy pale yellow, wispy white head, nice lace, strong sweet raspberry aroma, good raspberry flavor that starts with a bit of tartness followed by some sweetness and finishes with some bitterness, the bitterness sits on the tongue for a while, quite a range of flavors for the required coastal fruit wheat beer

Hazy, straw-colored ale. Small, white, fizzy head. The nose is all about fresh raspberries. Very nice. Raspberry and malt flavor with a good hop balance. Neither the fruit nor hops are overwhelming. Mild, medium-bodied beer with an oily mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Short, crisp, fruity finish. Refreshing!

Light golden, a bit hazy with a short white head. Flavor was very sweet with most of the raspberry tartness at the finish. This was refreshing on a hot humid afternoon in Wilmington.

Draft - Dark gold, thin white creamy head. Soft fresh raspberry aromas ride lighter undertones of earthed wheat and citrus. Berry fruit flavors rest upon a light foundation of cracked wheat and nutty earth. Light bodied and thin with soft carbonation. Drinkable and just ok…

Draught at the brewpub. Pours gold with wispy white head, but excellent lacing. The aroma is raspberry and not much else, maybe some sugary malt. The flavor is raspberry with underlying graininess. Actually a slightly bitter bite comes out in the finish, which reminds me that it is beer. Better than I was expecting, but still...

Light gold pour with a thin white head and minimal lace. Pale malts and light raspberry on the nose. Thin bodied & light flavor.

Clear yellow color. Smell is mostly raspberries with a touch of malts. Taste is similar, with an overbearing raspberry fruitiness. Not so good. I dont think I could drink an entire glass of this..

Looks like piss, bubbles and all. Aroma sweet but tart. Tastes like soda water with tad bit of raspberry. I’m one that likes many fruit beers but this is a very poor example.
