On tap at the Water Street in Delafield location. Poured a medium reddish amber color (I couldn’t quite finger the color) with a smaller sized head. Served with a slice of lemon! Stronger raspberry aromas. Tastes of lighter raspberries and light wheat. Some lemons (which I attribute to the lemon slice) as well. Fizzy body.

Murky brown thick looking liquid. Interesting aroma of choclate, raspberries and caramel. Mild sour raspberry flavor mingled with a touch of wheat and malt. Interesting.

Reddish-tinged amber color, smallish head. Great balance, with wheaty/lemony tones not compromised by a strong raspberry intrusion. Cookie/creamy/fruity nose works very well; body is fairly light but not thin; very drinkable, and a really pleasant surprise. Not smoky like most of this pub’s brews.

On draught at the brewery/brewpub in Delafield, Wisconsin. Pours an unfiltered semi-clear rusty amber brew with a thin light pink head that quickly dissipates clean. Aroma of mostly raspberry Koolaid with a touch of white bread malt and yeast. Taste is light bodied, some tart berry, a touch of cloves and yeast. Finish is watery, light, a hint of tart berry that quickly disappears.

Cloudy red pour with a little white head. Very sweet aroma.. primarily of raspberries and a little wheat. Light and watery on the palate. Flavor was of raspberries, but not fresh ones... more of sugary raspberry concentrate. A bit tart on the finish. Better than expected, but definitely nothing special going on here.

Orange color with a medium head. Fruity aroma, although I’m not sure it was raspberry. Sweet tasting and slightly sticky. Not much wheat taste to match it. Not the best example of a fruit wheat.

On tap at their downtown Milwaukee location. Bright orange pour, slight, white head. Fruity aroma of raspberries which is slightly artifical. Flavor has the same raspberry nature to it - which is again artificial to some degree, but tasty and refereshing as an after dinner drink. Mouthfeel has some spritziness to it. Decent.
