Hurricane Reef Raspberry Wheat Ale

Brewed by Florida Beer Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Melbourne, Florida USA

I liked it. It tasted good, while still respecting itself as what it is, a beer. So for all the fags have to drink flavored malt liqour put that shit down and pick up one of these so you don't look like a damn woman.

Nice appearance, cool label, very pale straw beer with decent whack of foam. I was expecting this to be pinkish, but it was actaully more of a tan. Aroma was rich and lusty, especially for a wheat beer. Very dry, muted raspberry. Palate was very solid for a wheat beer. My favorite brew so far from this brewery.

12oz bonus from daknole. Pours orangey with a tan head. Nose is pretty nicely razzy. Taste is sweet, fruity, and far better than I would have guessed. Not bad for the style.

Like a lot of fruit beers, it has problems mainaing the raspberry flavor without venturing into medcinal or cloying. Sure smells nice, though.

12oz Bottle - Trade - Daknole
Aroma – Nice malt aroma with a good fruity aroma coming off this nose.
Appearance – Golden in color, Nice head and slight hazy.
Flavor – A very nice fruit beer. Had a good wheat flavor with the raspberry this was a decent attempt at a fruit beer. The chicks will like this beer.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a dry fruity finish.
Overall – The beer gets a bad rap for being fruity but this style is very hard to get right they did a very good job and got a good product for this beer. Not overpowering this beer tasted like it should wheat malt with fruit background.

12 ounce bottle - $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: Pours out a near clear, dark orange-amber body with a bubbly, frothy, off-white head. Smell: Certainly smells of raspberries with some roundabout bread-based malt hints lurking in the back. Taste: And, what do you know, it does indeed taste of sweet raspberries. Secondary to this is the bready, toasty malted barley and wheat character. No real hop character or bitterness. Pretty much, it’s the raspberries, of that there is no mistake. Drying finishes with final tastes of bread and good ole, wholesome raspberries. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-plus carbonation. Some smoothness to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: Smooth, easy drinking with the full taste of raspberries. Yep, it’s a fruit beer alright.
