Bottle purchased from brewery. Light-brown beverage with a slight red infusion. Aromas of fresh raspberry fruit and woody raspberry seed. Soda-like effervescence is light and refreshing. Flavour begins with tart raspberry fruit, but this nuance surprisingly dies away about half-way through, replaced by bitter wood and a crisp hop finish. Overall an okay beer that takes some getting used to. Would make a good mid-afternoon cottage beer.

500ml Bottle from the LCBO Not bad for a fruit beer but could use a little more taste

Medium to dark amber, with a low off-white head. Relatively fragrant aroma of dark malts, wheat, raspberry and hops: neither the wheat nor the fruit is in control here--good balance, sour and sweet. Taste is berry, with sweet and sour, dark malts, caramel, wheat and a touch of hops. Interesting combination, not strong on the wheat. The raspberry is a little fake tasting, but otherwise pretty decent. Finish of malt and sour fruits, with a touch of hops only. An interesting fruit beer with a lot going on. Not perfect or even outstanding, but enjoyable enough.

500ml bottle: Orange. Heavy raspberry nose with some wheat. Taste reminiscent of nail-polish remover. Some hoppy notes but otherwise bland and contrived. Thin. Unpleasant from beginning to end.

This Wheat beer poured a cloudy light orange colour with a rocky bright white head. To the nose there are scents of raspberry jam, yeast and sweet malt. First taste had a very strong purfume taste that didn’t really go away. Very thin as far as the mouthfeel went. This beer is lacking something. Watery finish with nothing but cheap purfume lingering.
