The latest, unannounced Fruit Hog offering from Brewsters. Apparently, this is the Farmer's Tan Witbier, brewed with raspberries, and adorned with the same.

This beer appears a very cloudy (white, you could say) golden yellow colour, with one finger of thin foamy bone-white head, which leaves a solid wall of spongy lace around the glass. It smells of raspberry extract, wheat grain, and a bit of yeast. The taste is a much reduced raspberry essence (when avoiding the bobbing frozen berries) sweet wheat malt, a bit of savoury spice, and earthy yeast. The carbonation is quite low, the body medium weight and fairly smooth. It finishes slightly off-dry, with an earthy, fruity wheatiness.

Like the base beer, a decent Canadian version of a witbier, less complex, but still enjoyable, and this time with a dash of raspberry goodness.
