Why hate on Rasberry Wheat? If you like Rasberries you will like this beer.

It is one of the most drinkable beers Southern Tier puts out there next to the Chautaqua Brew. It is a very easy to drink beer...their IPA is still tops on my list...But this one is in my top five from the brewery.

NEW - Its been awhile since I had one of these but since tasting it at the brewery this weekend I have changed my mind.

I SWEAR they added more of a hop taste to it as to when it first came out. The beer has more body and less of a sweet taste. I liked it much better than last years brew...maybe its just me.

Very little raspberry in the flavor, it's okay but I have had better raspberry ales. Cheers! C

L) The brew poured pretty chunky, and was not old enough to warrant such a defect. Was pleasantly hazy aside from that, with a lovely pink hue.

S) The smell was fantastic honestly, along the lines of a fruited lambic, but less strong and assertive. Very raspberry-centric. Incredibly inviting!

T) The taste was solid, but not as good as the nose. Still really raspberry forward, with a pleasant acidity, perfect amount of sweetness, and a crisp refreshing nature.

F) The brew had a medium-high carbonation which was acceptable, and a light feel for how chunky it poured.

O) Honestly, I'd recommend it to any fruited wheat lovers. It is better than people are saying, but man I wish it didn't pour chunky.

This beer's only positive was it's pink coloring. It had no smell or effervescence at all. It's head fizzled away very quickly. It did have a raspberry flavor and that was all it had. It was so bad! I poured half of it down the drain. That never happens with me and beer. Terrible product!

16 ounce pour - $6.00 at Taco Mac in Woodstock, Georgia.

Appearance: Clearish, orangey body underneath a slim, white head and a lively effervescence (soda-like). Light lacing.

Smell: Subdued raspberry, altogether light coriander with a minor tipple of wheat.

Taste: Wheat, lightly sweetish, slightly grainy. Again, pretty light on the raspberry, with just a hinting of tartness. Slight coriander spiciness. Softly fruity though lightly medicinal on the drying finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.

Overall: So-so. There's not a great underlying beer, nor is there great raspberry character.
