Southern Tier Raspberry Wheat Beer

If this was marketed as a summer refreshing beer as opposed to a year round wheat fruit beer i think it would be rated higher... I am completely against this beer being in Southern Tiers mix pack... I had one after an evening soccer game and would have had a second had i had another cold, but in the same scenario in the middle of the winter, i would have poured it down the drain... It is a bit overbearing on the raspberry, but it is quite quenching, and i rather liked in that scenario....

12oz bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Nose is big on Raspberry jam and that’s about it. A very refreshing summer brew.

Bottle sampled courtesy of Mike during the Cluster Brew Part Deux event. Golden color, decent white head. Aroma was raspberry syrup. Flavor was solidly of raspberry that somehow came off as artifcial, over a decent wheat beer. In the end, just too much of the fruit for my tastes.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold, with a small, fizzy head. The aroma is not too strong, and dominated by raspberries. The flavor is sour raspberry, with prominent wheat. Not bad, nothing special, though.

clear golden pour with next to no head. Aroma is quite nice, some really juicy raspberry. Flavour is quite disapointing though, there pretty much isn’t any. I’m getting an odd sour note, but seriously that’s about it. The body is watery, and extremely bland, not very good at all.
