Casual light-bodied fruit ale brings washed-out raspberry tartness to the fore above mild lemony grapefruit bittering and soured olfactory farmhouse yeast. Salty carbolic fizz drenches tertiary oaken cherry, estery white grape and strawberry nuances.

Precarious tart raspberry entry fades as shrill hop coarsening and washed-out soapiness outdo ancillary cranberry, cherry, strawberry and green grape souring to blandly astringent fruit finish.

Cloy Shandy-like Anheuser-Busch offshoot (with fluffy pink head sitting atop opaque magenta body) mistaken for fruity soda pop. Corn syrupy raspberry tartness allows tertiary pineapple-candied cherry, blueberry and strawberry sugaring to saturate champagne-fizzed misfire. Unassuming 8% alcohol volume will attract wine cooler crowd.

Blandly watered-down raspberry tartness reaches acrid Seltzer-fizzed solvency, neutralizing light 4% alcohol volume. Minor acidity slips into auxiliary cranberry wisp, dismissive cider souring, washed-out lemon-drop snip and teasing floral whim. White wheat spine can’t hold water. Barely betters fruitier low-alcohol beers from myopic mainstream macrobrew mavens. Serve with woodruff syrup to increase raspberry flavor.

Decent summer-fruited malt beverage posing as Belgian-styled witbier brings up-front raspberry-seeded rasp to coriander-spiced honeyed wheat spine. Candied soda-like red grape, watermelon, cherry, and peach subsidy underscores durable raspberry puree lacquering, becoming slightly cloy. A ‘sunsational’ summer shandy.

SAMUEL SMITH RASPBERRYRipe mega-raspberry theme and chambord liqueur mouthfeel counteract dry eye-squinting lime-like brimstone aromatics of opaque magenta-bodied pink-headed soda-popped fruit ale. Tart cranberry pucker overrides candied apple sweetness, medicinal black cherry coughdrop slurp, and pureed strawberry-blackberry pasting. Syrupy malt extract emulates carbonated soft drink for better or worse.

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

Washed-out aluminum-cleared moderate body with up-front raspberry tartness limping to honeyed wheat spine is hit and miss and lacks assertion. Less perfume-y and fruity than usual suspects, but perhaps a tad more floral. Soapy summer poolside fodder fades fast as wispy corn-sugared raspberry-candied soda pop mouthfeel diminishes.

Dank musty aroma, cloudy yellow-orange hue, and honeyed wheat base serve tart raspberry brew well. Ethanol-fueled raspberry, elderberry, and blueberry rasp seeps into cereal-grained pleasantry above tertiary peach-tangerine tang. Diligent fruit-looped finish lingers.

Rating: 2.5

Tags:

Ripe fermented raspberry aroma and juicy fructose alacrity swallowed up by obtrusive fizz, nearly wiping out any wheat hint. On top of that, candied tartness and sourdough pungency sag at tangy off-dry finish. Brewery defunct: circa 2004.

Just as Brewery Hill’s Cherry Wheat benefits from natural ingredients, this red ale has distinct raspberry tartness and overall fruity essence. It’s kind of creamy and soda-like, keeping the delicate honeyed wheat flavor in check ’til moderate fruit-spiced finish.

Rating: 3.5

Tags:

Sharp raspberry abundance crowds nose and mouth as mildly bitter red-tinted Belgian knockoff gains sour-candied citric resonance. Wheat wine inducement sifts through heavy carbonation and foamy head. Happily, more unique than peculiar.
