Almost a wheaty sroma, little to no raspberry in it. Flavor has a quick raspberry burst up front, witha short-lasting consistency. but the finish is still nice, light and creamy.

The most raspberry raspberry ale aroma I can recall. Smells like fresh berries. Hazy ripe peach golden color. The head was ferocious, but declined, leaving shreds of lace. Full mouthfeel. Starts with raspberry, which develops into a riper flavor. The ale thins towards the finish, which has a somewhat bitter aspect much like chewing a berry seed. Not a truly dry finish, but not overly sweet. Light and refreshing it is. Probably goes well with pastry. Some pastry. Think I’d like to try it with lox and capers. Just a thought...

Light golden color with a thin head. Raspberry apparent in the aroma and in the initial taste. Not sweet al all--the raspberry quickly fades into the background leaving a dry, toasty finish. Very drinkable for a fruit beer. Not a bad curiosity offering.

I really didn’t think I’d like this beer, but it was the only I hadn’t had there at the pub, and after a long hot day of work, it sounded alright. Pours pale gold with no head. The nose is subtle and slightly bitter with a dose of raspberry. The flavor was quite refreshing and a bit complex. Started clean and bitter, then onto tart raspberry, finishing with almost a barrel aged oak nuttiness. I’d drink it again.

Hazed light golden color with a big bubbly slightly off-white head. Sour raspberry/cherry aroma. Hints of mild spice as well. Quite acidic and lightly sour. I don’t know if it was intended to be like this, But it does make it very dry and quenching. Only a light raspberry essence with a mild slightly sour wheat part. Lots of eff in this one. A hot summer day picnic brew. I like it, but I’m not sure I’m drinking this the way it was made.
