An unforgettable wheat ale brewed with German Pils and Wheat malts and Tradition hops, with 1 lb. of red and black raspberries per gallon of beer. This beer features a tart finish and a sugary sorbet aroma.

The ABV is 8.0 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Wheat Fruit Beer
Glass to use- Pint Glass, Tumbler, Mug or Stein
Delivery 750ml Bottle
Not recommended for extended cellaring.
The Pour - Pours a dark purple color with a reddish head. Very little lacing.
Aroma - Fruity - raspberry, almost like an extract.
Taste - Not much, no malts or hops and a hint of raspberry.
Mouth Feel - Medium/high carbonation and a lite body.
Drinkable - Very watered down in my opinion. I was expecting something like a fruit lambic not realizing it was a wheat beer. However it is a nice summer wheat beer with a hint of raspberry. It is lacking taste.
Update - After aging for about a year the taste is much more pronounced. The fruity flavors come through more aggressive making for a nicer beer experience. The body seems to be more balanced, I would say a medium body beer. And is well balanced all around.
In conclusion, though this brew is not recommended for cellaring, aging it a year improved it very much. I am changing me rating from a C+ to a solid B!
This beer pairs well with salad.
This beer gets a Duper rating of B.
BeerAdvocate Rating =B
