Had this one on draught in Lombard, Illinois. Finally, a respectable raspberry wheat! Light orange color, very pronounced raspberries in the nose with some apple. Tart raspberries in the taste -- like berries right off the tree, complete with the sensation that you probably should be getting seeds in your teeth. Tart, not sweet (finally!) and not too sour. Respectable wheaty taste in the finish. Good.

Clear raspberries in the aroma. Cloudy gold color without much head. What is there is thin and off-white. Streak lace. Some bubbles. Initial mouthfeel is favorable. Wheat and raspberry are evident. A little sour. Sometimes fruit beers are overly sweet and usually it isn’t intended. This isn’t a bad beer, and is closer to good than most of the brews in the 6-beer sampler.

<i>Contract brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company, Warrenville, IL</i><br /><br /> Amber-colored. Intriguing aromas were not only raspberry, but held a defined pumpkin flesh, a touch of melon and a fresh, green-vegetable essence. The flavor, too, was not overwhelmingly fruity, revealing that it sat on a stable, wheat base. Flat presence and rather thin. For a brewpub fruit beer, this wasn’t too bad. <br /><br /><font size=-4>On tap at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/lombard/taylor-brewing-company/2123.htm><u>Taylor Brewing Company, Lombard, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />

No notable color for a "berry" beer, golden. Some hint of raspberry on the nose, and in the flavor. No notable beer flavor, finishes fresh and crisp.

Damn, if you&#39;ve had one or two local brewpub raspberry wheats, you have had them all. Yes, there are many good ones out there, but for the most part many are just like this one: very berry nose, dry and acidic taste with sweet fruity, cereal-like malts and perfumy fake berry finish.
