Commercial Description:
This is a filtered American wheat beer, with a touch of natural raspberry flavor and aroma. Before you pass this one over because it’s a “fruit” beer, try it on a hot summer afternoon. Our brewers even admit it’s their beer of choice during those hot summer beer festivals.

Draft at the West Chester location, July 2006. A yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma has very powerful notes of raspberries and is very sweet - I find the raspberry note a bit artificial. The flavor is sweet with a bit weird, but very powerful raspberry note, on a sligtly acidic wheaty back ground. The end is dry wheaty with an artificial note of raspberries lingering.

hazy yellow, wispy white head, sweet malt aroma with a pronounced raspberry tartness, rich sweet honey malt flavor provides a good foundation for a lot of raspberry flavor, tartness from the raspberry balances the honey sweetness, light bitter finish

On Tap. Poured a light hazy yellow with a small white head. Strong dominating raspberry aroma. Tastes of light raspberries (not as strong as the aroma would leave you to believe) and light wheat. Watery body.

My Bottom Line:
Syrupy raspberries burst from the well-fed pale maltiness and the judicious leafy hopping takes this Raspberry Wheat to uncommonly appreciable levels for the "style".

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A coat of foam tops the hazy blond.
-I honestly expected a lot less interesting of a beer and was thus pleasantly surprised; so many of these Raspberry Wheat concoctions are mailed in...
-Some wheaty tartness hooked itself onto the raspberry fruitiness.
-The aroma was full of raspberries, but of the sugary kind.
-The slow carbonation helped the palate to analyze the rich maltiness.
-I’m not sure the base beer fits with the raspberries, but that’s just me.

On tap at the Wilmington brewpub.

Tap at Lancaster location. Light pinky colour with a light haziness. Light wheaty spice behind the raspberry character. A fairly doughy maltiness as well. It’s a pretty good fruit beer, really.
