KLB Raspberry Wheat Beer

Brewed by Amsterdam Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Toronto, Canada

Perfect definition of copper coloured body with a nice sized (two centimetre tall) tan head. Aroma of super strong and fragrant raspberries, a bit of wheat and a large amount of sugar. Medium to Light-bodied; Pungent and assertive metallic and off-tasting malt up front that fades to a decent raspberry finish with caramel and once again, a tiny bit of wheat/malt in the mix. Aftertaste is a foul bitter flavour with some minor raspberries and caramel too. Overall, not a great beer by any means, but not horrible and by far not the worst fruit beer I’ve had. I sampled this 473 (odd size) mL can purchased from the LCBO (Summerhill) in Toronto, Ontario on 11-October-2009, sampled back home on the American side of the border in Washington on 21-October-2009.

473 ml can from LCBO. Pours amber/light copper in colour, with thin off-white head. Aroma is sweet, with raspberry dominating. Taste, also is sweet, with milder raspberry flavour, and some wheat profile.

Can from LCBO (Toronto, ON). Pours a generally clear dark amber color with reddish highlights and a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of raspberry, wheat, fresh fruit, light spice. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of wheat, fresh fruit, raspberries, yeast. Generally light to medium body with a fruity finish.

Clear copper appearance. Thin white lace. Wheat malt flavour with what it says on the bottle, a hint of raspberry. Very tinny texture which leaves for a tinny finish.

mild raspberry aroma with fizzy head. extremely light bodied and fruity giving it the impression of a cooler more than a beer. However, some hop and malt on the palate. a suitable alternative to summer macro brews

341ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours light red, with massive carbonation. The first couple I poured from the six pack I barely got half the bottle into the glass, the rest being foam. Had to let it sit a while to calm down. I’ve purchased this several times, and it’s the same every time. I recommend wetting the glass, or using an oversized one. Once the head dies down, and bubble aren’t jumping up your nose, aroma is dusty and raspberry, with a touch of hop. Flavour is sweet, but manages to have a dry finish to keep it from getting too cloying. Mouthfeel is a bit watery.

Aroma of Hop and Rasberry. Taste is slight rasberry. Was expecting more from this beer since it had rasberry in its name. Does nothing to compare to Belgium Kreiks.
