Body is hazy light red.
Aroma is
lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly to moderately yeasty (dough),
with a note of berry/cherry.
Flavor is
lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, slightly unclean.
Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Like the more frequently available Raspberry Wheat, this is pretty basic and uninspiring, but of course the fruity wheats aren’t directed towards beer nerds. Overly doughy in both nose and finish.
