Commercial Description:
American Wheat Ale with a delicious raspberry flavor has made this beer a Front Street favorite. Light bodied and delicately hopped.

Draft at brewpub, pours a hazy light golden. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Body was thin and weak. I am not a big fan of this. Notes of cereal grain.

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.

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

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...

Pours a light golden reddish color with a white head. Has some lacing. Has strong hints of raspberry. Has some hops taste, and strong malt flavor. Finshes light and crisp on the tongue.
