Appears a hazy light gold with a decent 2 finger head that lasts for over a minute. Real nice scattered webbing left all over the inside of the glass. Smal amounts of carbonation slowly swing in lines to the top.
Smell is of a decent American wheat with a sweet raspberry aroma mixed with honey and cream.
Taste is of the aromas with a sweet yet balanced taste. There is just a touch of hops at the swallow and a very very mild tartness that seems to nudge it's way into the mix.
Mouthfeel is light bodied, relatively smooth, sweet, as well as a touch of tart semi dryness that you would get with a true raspberry style.
Drinkability is good. Nice and refreshing with no overkill and just the right amount of honey sweetness with some raspberry flavor coming through. In my opinion, this is the most overdone style, especially on the east coast. You can find this in just virtually every brew pub around and it's just a matter of the brewery making this as good as they possibly can. This was pretty good. Maybe not the best but good nonetheless.

Light and drinkable, wheat with fruit notes that come through as beer warms.

Appearance: gold with a hazy tint. Light head and little to no carbonation. Smell: smell is deliteful. I'm getting wheat with hints of raspberries coming through. Taste: medium body, malt in forefront with raspberries hints coming in on the end. Floral notes after. Overall: decent wheat beer. The smell got me excited and I was a tiny bit disappointed by the taste but it was still ok.
