Sea Dog Raspberry Wheat Ale

Brewed by Sea Dog Brewing (Shipyard Brewing Co.)
Style: Fruit Beer
Topsham, Maine USA

This beer pours a golden orange color with a thick head that faded rather quickly. There is a distinct rasberry and mild hop aroma to it. It has a very tart and distinct initial flavor of rasberry and weat on the tip of your tounge. as you drink it though it gets alot smoother on the palate and the bitterness goes away.

Not a very good beer. Give this one to your girlfriend. Very light golden with little head.

Bottle. Best enjoyed before: 10/07. A pale gold pour with a thin off-white head. A crisp, wheaty aroma that features plenty of raspberries. On the thin side and very crisp. Nice balance. Lots of tart raspberries dominate the flavor. Another refreshingly poundable fruit beer from Sea Dog.

Flavor beers I’m not a big fan. Sea Dog’s Raspberry Wheat Ale is good. This no i just can’t hang. Maybe women will enjoy this brew from Sea Dog.

12 ounce bottle. Pleasant raspberry aroma with just enough fruit taste. Gold color. Undetectable wheat flavor. Thanks Susan and Bob.

I was in a fruity mood, and this didn’t suck. Decent, if average wheat backing a nice tart raspberry expression. Nothing too special, but certainly worth the sipping on a day like today (111 heat index!).

Scent and flavor is strongly of raspberries with a bit of wheat beer flavor. This beer isn’t anything special, but it is a very drinkable beer on a hot day, and not too bad for its usual price.
