Honey Raspberry Wheat is a beautifully easy beer to drink during the summertime months. It has a crisp, floral aroma with hints of rich berry which are balanced by a smooth wheat/malt body. Honey Raspberry Wheat rounds out nicely with a lighter body and a dry finish.

Poured from a can into a glass sampler at a sampler fest. I really wanted to like this, but found it too watery for my liking. Definitely get wheat taste and some watered down raspberry. I've had this on tap and from a can and can say the profile is about the same in both.

Pours a murky rose color with a fair wispy white cap that lingers and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is very faint. I'm getting a little of the raspberry and a bit of biscuit. Flavor is more pronounced, definite raspberry tartness in front, some sweetness from the honey finishes. Feel is light bodied and well carbonated. Overall, good not great.

Usually I don’t like fruity beers but I love this one. A subtle but very flavorful raspberry beer. It is much better on tap than in a can.

EDIT 12/2021: Originally drank and rated this past summer '21, and it was OK. A little subdued . . . But just found a loose six month old can in the back of the fridge and IMO it got way, way more flavorful, robust, and even more colorful in the glass. Delicious. What a nice surprise. I just love castle danger.

First time I've seen this in cans. Had it at the brewery a few years back and loved the big rasberry impression and honey notes.
This is a different beer. The raspberry is much more subdued. The honey notes still come through nicely and there is an ok raspberry characteristic but overall it's much less assertive. Touch of tartness from the raspberries on the finish.
This is fine...just not as great as I remember it.

Pours a fairly clear light red color. The head is 2 finger, reddish/white, and frothy. The retention seems decent. No lacing on the glass.
The nose is REALLY rich raspberry smelling. It smells like they put a large amount of them in the beer.
Taste - Raspberry. That's the taste. There's a slight hop on the backside, but very slight.
The body is a bit lighter, but not watery. It also has a bit of carbonation that tickles my palate.
Damn easy drinking, and very crushable if it were canned. Perfect for a hot, humid day, like today.
