While trying to pull off the trifecta of well-calibrated honey, raspberry, and wheat, this gets too mired in fizz for true distinction. Pungent fruit aroma leads to refreshing berry palate that wins out over creamy wheat intrusion, but unsettled grain mesh and lack of strength are drawbacks.

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.

Pink-magenta head fades as easy flowin’ raspberry nose confirms fizz-hopped berry permanence, mild cherry tartness, and red grape hint. But soft wheat backbone and soapy finish dilute fructose funk.

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.

Pronounced raspberry waft introduces sagging dry-bodied dusty rose-hued Belgian-styled fruit ale. Muted artificial raspberry flavor barely rises above fizzy nature as perfume-y floral perk, pink grapefruit hint, and rose’ glint fail to overcome minor acidity. Needs better yeast penetration.

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.

Bluegrass State middleweight with full-frontal raspberry assault competing against fizzy hop flow that isn’t so pronounced it affects fruitiness. Firm caramel malt finish knocks back tart berry tendencies, interfering with setback honeyed wheat influence.

Formerly brewed by Oxford Brewery, this newer version, “fermented with real raspberries,” seems worthier. Tart raspberry theme never overwhelms mineral grain outline, cider-y tinge, and seltzer-like carbonation, but needs better wheat resolve.

Pronounced raspberry essence, full-bodied malt-hopped swagger, and soft wheat nuance complement nectar nicety to fizzy hop finish. Fruity ale lovers will knock these down instantly. For those disliking fructose-injected brews, this may be peculiar, but grain thickness and teensy spicing may win them over.

Cloudy pale yellow dry beer lacks expected wheat sustenance, but boasts wonderful light-bodied raspberry spritz and aroma. Easy flowing apricot, blueberry, lemon, and unripe peach hints decorate the corners.

Despite surprising absence of ‘wintry’ spicing and lack of rich ‘brown’ ale depth, this “perfectly fruited” 2007 ale goes down like maple-sugared Cherry Coke. Syrupy raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry sweetness embraces red-black cherry salience as caramelized molasses malts thicken soda flow. Dry tobacco, hazelnut, and pecan scurry through twiggy wood bottom.
