Beer is about what you expect as far as color, looks red and hazy. After primary fermentation, lots of real raspberries are added to this wheat beer causing a secondary fermentation and distinct raspberry flavor, color and aroma. Aroma is full of raspberries and sweetness.
Beer is sweet and full of tartness from the raspberries. Light in body. Sweetness is up front and the tart is in the back of the mouth. Beer finishes rather cleanly and there is no aftertaste. It’s a very pleasant experience. If raspberries are your thing, you should check this beer out. Drink-ability high, good mouth feel.

A - Nice head. What you'd expect for an American wheat.
S - Strong sweet fruity aroma, not a lot in the way of traditional wheat smells. Beer smells are overpowered by fruit smells, but it's not offensive and lends itself well to the flavor.
T - The wheat beer flavors and fruitiness actually mesh. This seems to be rare: this is perhaps the first fruity beer I've enjoyed where there wasn't the distinct feeling that the beer flavors and the fruit flavors were clashing with one another. This is definitely a sweet beer. I guess it's easiest to say that there's simply nothing wrong with the flavor of this beer.
M - Very light and refreshing.
Overall - High drinkability. This is a beer I recommend to people who usually drink mixed drinks and claim not to like beer. Even beer drinkers can appreciate it, though, if you get hit with the mood for a sweet, light beer that actually tastes right. I usually dislike fruity beers, but this is good stuff.

A - Poured a semi-cloudy, golden yellow color with a small, white head of fizzy, foam. Very little lacing to speak of.
S - Raspberry aroma was mild with a noticeable wheat presence.
T - Raspberry taste is strong than its aroma almost overpowering the wheat flavor.
M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A light bodied ale that is easy drinking.
O - This is an okay raspberry wheat ale. I can see it being very popular on a warm summer day in KC.
