Commercial Description:
This Belgium-style fruit beer is made a little differently from the traditional way. This leaves a more beer-tasting fruit beer. The beer is not filtered so the cloudiness and the actual pits of the raspberries make it a very popular beer during the hot months out on the patio. Very popular.

"Brew appears to be a cloudy peach color, this looks strange and unexpected. Cap is thick and long lasting. Sour raspberry aroma that’s very fake and powdery not remotely interesting. Taste also fake and powdery with a wheat back ground. Taste is very simple and fake also slightly sour, no real enjoyment out of drinking this but wasn’t offensive either."

Draught at the brewpub
Muddy blond color. It has a light aroma of berries, not bad. But the flavors don’t mix well, mainly because of missing sweetness and too much bitterness.

On tap at the brewery, part of a sampler. Not a very well balanced, too sweet with an almost raspberry-seed flavor at times

Draft, at brewpub. Hazy gold with a thin white cap. A little bit of light raspberry fruit in the aroma. Flavour was tarter than expected, some raspberry notes and grain flavours. Light bodied. Not really belgian styled, more of an American Wheat with fruit.

On tap at Grizzy Paw. Poured hazy golden with a short white head and lots of lacing. Muted, sweetened raspberries with tart lemon and wheaty notes in the aroma. Raspberry seeds join tart lemon and wheat in the quite sweet flavor. Felt only decent on the palate... little tacky at the finish. Not bad... not good.

I tried this as part of an 8 beer tasting tray at the pub. The tasting tray is an excellent value, featuring Big Head brown, Grumpy Bear Wheat, Powder Hound pilsener, Rutting Elk red, Beavertail Raspberry, Randy Goat pilsener, and two seasonal brews that are new: Bloody Hell Pale Ale and Burrowing Badger Summer Ale. This one was a cloudy pale yellow with a strong aroma of raspberry jam. The raspberry flavour was not all that subtle, and had more of a sweet candy flavour like the Rockets you get at Halloween. Still, not a bad lighter style for summer, and on this day in particular (28 degrees in the mountains is HOT!).

Cloudy with a thick head. Very wheaty aroma, with a good amount of fruit. Tastes like they mixed raspberry jam into a wheat beer. Not so good.

With mild hints of Raspberry in the nose, cloudy yellow color and a taste of mildly sweet malt and hints of raspberry with a dry grainy finish.
