Pours red tinted amber with a small head.
Nose shows soft raspberry, doughy wheat and little else. Not bad though.
More tart raspberry as a flavours and some wheat. Pretty plain.
Too much carbonation.
I suppose this delivers what it promises, raspberry and wheat.

A - Poured into a Meantime snifter style glass a slightly hazy dark golden colour with an inch of fluffy white head that falls away pretty quickly.
S - The raspberry is there but it is quite faint. Wheat malt is pretty obvious.
T - Very much like the smell.
M - Light bodied, dry and medium tartness. Low to medium carbonation.
D - An OK beer but there are many better raspberry based fruit beers available.

Tasted by half-pint at the Greenwich Union, Greenwich, London. I'm sure it's closely related to the contract-brew for the Sainsbury's supermarket--"Sainsbury's Raspberry Wheat Beer". But, like other beers served on tap/cask at this brewery tap, there's always subtle difference from the contract-brew, bottled version, so I enter it as a different product here.
A: a vague colour like cranberry-red+mango-yellow, pretty hazy, coming with a thin white foam lasting o.k.
S: witbier like yeasty+wheatish note, along with a dusty, dryish woody note coming through the foam, on top of a lambic-like unique sour aroma... Raspberry is rather restrained as compared to the wheat-beer elements, but still noticeable and pleasant enough.
T: dryish, thin, and sour flavour of sour-beer upfront, with its sour-wheatiness, while a residual sour-sweet fruity flavour of raspberries quietly develops to accompany the wheatish taste, albeit very restrained. Overall the flavour is a little bland as compared to the aroma, and the fruits don't blend very well with the beer base. A little off-focus that is.
M&D: the mouthfeel is consistently refreshing, given the nice and gentle carbonation; but the flavour is really too timid and a balance b/w fruit and beer base is in absence. My GF even comments that she couldn't find a "gravity" in this beer, on which I can't agree more. Overall it's not a bad beer if taking into account that it's an ambitious British attempt on fruit ale, but it could hardly convert "non-believers" to it either.
