Mishawaka Raspberry Wheat

Brewed by Mishawaka Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Mishawaka, Indiana USA

Courtesy of stfun. Pours amber and hazy with a white head. Smells of raspberries. Tastes of tarte fresh raspberryes. Not much else to say. The raspberries are at the forefront and taste like fresh raspberries in a wheat beer. Very nice!

This bottle brew poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized light pink colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a minimal lacing. The body was a softly carbonated transparent brown colored one with swirls of brwon sediment floating in it. The aroma was very nice and with a strong raspberry fruity smell. The mouth feel was bubbly and tingly yet smooth from start to finish. It reminded me of a wine cooler. Very refreshing. The flavor was all fruity raspberry and malt.

Bottle. This beer formed a medium sized white-pink head with fine-medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was semi-transparent and some carbonation was observed. The hue of this beer was coral. The nose was sweet and very raspberry. The flavor was also sweet, tart, tangy and raspberry from start to finish. The mouthfeel was very tingly. This beer had sparse lacing on the sides of my glass.

12 oz bottle from party chalet in goshen, IN. First question out of GF’s mouth, "why is my beer orange?". That was a farely accurate description of the color, but with a pink tinge and with small lasting white/off-pink head. Very candy raspberry aroma with still a solid malt backbone, not as bad as people have made it out to be, maybe a fresher bottle/newer recipe. Cough syrup flavor though with rich raspberries, malt and some spice. Nice medium creamy body. Surprisingly nice and not grainy like a lot mediocre fruit beers, I ALSO think it has a beat and you can dance to it.

Pours red with small fizzy head and slight spotty lacing. Banana and raspberries on the nose. Nice fruity flavor, slightly watery.

Pours a transparent effervescent bronze with an airy white head. Aroma of fresh, sweet sugary raspberries and a touch of pale malt. Body starts with s light malty sweetness and decent fruity raspberry character with some tart fruity balance toward a fairly clean, bittersweet finish. The raspberry flavor is pretty well done here.
