I got this one in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks yet again, John!

It pours from 12oz bottle a clear yellow-gold with a very small head of foam that faded before I finished typing these words and it has almost no lacing.

The smell is delicate but I do get some raspberry goodness along with some sweet malt.

The taste has a light flavour of fresh raspberries followed by some sweet malt then a bit of hop bitterness that cuts the malt's sweetness almost immediately. Further sips in and the raspberry character, though still not as strong as I'd like it, turns towards the semi sou side and has a presence in the finish though that ends up mostly crisp and clean. I like it. Like I said, I was hoping for more of a raspberry kick but what's there is done nicely. I'd drink this one again, no problem.

Bottle hazy light beige with a coarse off white head. Plenty of raspberry in the Adams and flavors but seemed chemically and perfumey just ok

On tap at Wasatch, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light faint raspberries. Flavour is similarly artificial, with faint raspberries. Nothing good here. Quite bad.

Bottle, hotel tasting, Warwick, RI. Clear golden color, almost flat. Big aroma of perfumy, dusty berries. But the berries don’t go well with the lager base.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a hazed over slightly red to light amber color. The head was there but it died within about less than forty seconds. Light lacing stuck and then slid.
The smell definitely had the raspberry and as it warmed there was a decent grainy/wheatiness lightly coming in.
The taste was a fairly decent combination of the wheat and the raspberry, slightly sweet but also a decent tart.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. The carbonation was decent for the style and for me. It seemed a bit slick on my tongue.
Overall, for the most part, a pretty good raspberry wheat ale I could have again.

Courtesy of douglas88. 12oz bottle pours clear gold with short lived white head. The modest aroma exudes raspberry and maybe a distant echo of wheat. The taste is much the same beginning with a slight sharp carbonation enhanced raspberry tartness. It quickly becomes sweet with a sensation of raspberry extract and notes of wheat. It ends with a sticky wheat sort of coating inside my mouth.
