Sea Dog Raspberry Wheat Ale

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

Bottle, from Total Wine. Poured a nice amber color with a bit of white head. Nice raspberry aroma. Typical wheat beer, nothing special to this, but easy to drink.

Bottle, from mug. Best by Feb ’07. Big bubbly white head; pale amber body. Smells like raspberries -- go figure. Like most "berry" ales, aroma is a 10 if judged to style. Again, like other fruit-additive beers, the mouthfeel is thick in a syrupy way (blech). Tastes like Kool-Aid. Finishes tart and relatively dry-ish. Oh how I hate "fruity" beers. If presented with this "beer," turn and run in the opposite direction.

12 oz bottle. Pours a very thin and bubbly yellowish golden color with a small white head. Aroma of artificial raspberries and a wheaty sense. Flavor is much of the same, very wheaty (almost over done), with a sugary raspberry taste. Taste like every other attempt at a good wheat fruit beer. Very light, watery, and non-descript. Still on the search for a decent wheat fruit beer...............

Bottle best by Feb 07. Poured a pale yellow with a thin white head that dissipated quickly. Huge aromas of raspberry with some hoppy background. The flavor also found raspberry and wheat. Sweet beginning with a slight sour ending. Light body and watery.

I liked this beer. Barely a beer- it’s more fruit than anything. But it delivered what it promised .......raspberry. It was light, refreshing and good. I look forward to having a few more.

not bad, slightly bland but good mouth feel, not sticky not syrupy some tartness. light crisp easy drinking. basically a decent summer beer

12oz bottle poured in a near-flute glass. This beer doesn’t contain any artificial colors that I can tell. You wouldn’t know it was raspberry by the color. Then again maybe that just means there are no real raspberries in the beer. It is a medium golden color with a continually regenerating thin head. It has a relatively strong raspberry odor. The beer itself has no particular character and raspberry flavor doesn’t really have that good beer-berry marriage a truely good raspberry wheat should have. The underlying beer needs more substance for this to be a great beer. That all being said, it is still enjoyable if you like the style.

bottle. decent appearance, smells like it should...raspberrys. taste is a different story. I’m not a huge fan...tastes too fizzy. I wouldn’t buy this again. there are other better fruit beers out there.
