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.

Ripe 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.

Ripe raspberry rasp juxtaposes soured blueberry-cherry tartness as peppery hops and vegetal earthiness caress wheat spine. Mild tobacco-roasted clover honey sweetness bedecks mild custard finish. Note: quaffed on tap @ Poughkeepsie’s Half Time before brewery bottled for distribution.

Mellow pink-headed ruby-bodied ‘malternative’ betters soda pop or lame wine cooler. Fulsome raspberry signature assaults champagne nose and tutti-frutti tongue. Supportive peach, tangerine, and red cherry tartness perks up sour cranberry-mulberry-strawberry ransom to bittersweet candi-sugared raspberry finish.

Though ersatz wheat fleck lacks prominence, tart raspberry presence and strong hop spicing outline sweet barleymalt refinement, but this style of brew has been made better elsewhere. Brewery defunct: 2005.

Rare Eastern Euro fruited beer with equally unexpected clear pink body retains dank raspberry sweetness and tart wine cooler slack. Cloying soda fizz prickles tongue and dubious vegetal waft lowers appeal. Beer defunct: 2008.

Mustily dank berry waft and cereal-grained pleasantry serve tart raspberry-pureed ale well. Ethanol-fueled raspberry, elderberry, and blueberry rasp seeps into honeyed wheat bed as tertiary peach-tangerine tang advances. Diligent fruit-looped finish lingers saliently thru respected amber-clouded medium body.

Appealing garnet-hued, pinkish-headed raspberry bombe dessert ale gains cherry kirsch tartness over chocolate liqueur punctuation and creamy vanilla malt soothe to dry wheat drift. Serve as a raspberry-pureed fruit desert. Perfect digestif treat for experienced lambic ale lovers or as crossover to lighter tastes.
