A clean, crisp refreshing ale similar to an American blonde ale with low malt and hops with a touch of raspberry.

On tap at the brewpub serve in a pint glass. This brew appears a clouded dark yellow color. Yeast filled throughout with a finger of white head that dissolves leaving some spotty lacework on the glass.

The smell of this brew is very perfume like with fruited quality that isnt immediately identifiable as raspberry. It is fresh and sweet smelling with a faint background of wheat-like grains.

The taste is grainy and fresh with mild fruit inclusion. Some young yeastiness is evident throughout. The aftertaste of this brew accents the green yeastiness and more grain incorporation tasting like wheat but not quite.

This is a medium to light bodied brew that is decently drinkable. The alcohol is fairly well hidden behind a very perfume-like raspberry inclusion that I assume to be an artificial extract since the raspberry hasnt imparted any coloration to the brew. Not a bad summertime offering but trying this once was enough for me.
