Putting a little razzmatazz in their wheat beer, Hi-Wire takes a slightly different approach to their "smoothie" beer by starting with a wheat beer, ramping it up to imperial status and then layering it with copious amounts of raspberries.
Rusty mauve in its pour, Raspberry WOW! releases a creamy, slightly pink stained froth while rounding the senses with all things fruit pastry. Fruity with red berry and bready with cereal, honey and fresh bread, the scent soon leads to a similar early palate of sourdough, croissant and cobbler.
As the flavors across middle palate, its wheat underpinnings are creamy, lush and full with cereal and honey while a fruity dominance begins to take hold. Raspberries become front and center in a tangy, succulent and sweeter candied taste, much like taffy. With a low lying bitterness the beer balances slightly to take an edge off of the wheat creaminess while the acidity of raspberries do much the same.
Full bodied, creamy and plush on the palate, the beer finishes malty-tart and with a medium linger of fruit- skins, seeds and all. The approach of WOW! is sound but needs some tweaking. A hoppier taste would align it with smoothie IPA, or an acidic fermentation would push it to the sour side, but as is, its somewhere between.
