12oz bottle. I know I rated this on tap, but it could be years before that backlog hits so here we go again. Kind of an old school fruit/wheat beer. Raspberry is unimpressive, faded extract. 6.2% ABV is a little bit high for a Wit, but still has a medium body, fairly drinkable. A little bit boring, but decent enough for the style.

Bottle: Hazy medium yellow with a frithy white head. Wheat, raspberry aroma. Taste is mildly sweet, raspberry, strong wheat malt, yeast/biscuit, coriander. Very malty.....feels like a very good Wit base with a subtle raspberry touch.....not too obtrusive or overdone...Great body......Really nice.

Bottle from a branch of Total wine in Sterling, Virginia. Deep amber and hazy in colour with a pinkish edge, and moderate carbonation. White bready malts, a yeasty edge, hint of spice, leafy hops and a subtle raspberry edge that kicked in towards the finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle from Sam Quik Shop in Durham. Pours murky orange-pink with a small white head. Lots of floaters. Aroma is fresh raspberry - somewhat tart smelling, along with hay. Flavor if tart raspberry, wheat, coriander, banana, crust, yeast. Bittersweet... strange aftertaste, but overall pretty nice.

12 ounce bottle into signature pint glass, best before 11/18/2018. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden amber/slight pink color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lightly tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, orange peel, pear, red apple, coriander, chamomile, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, raspberries, spices, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, orange peel, pear, red apple, coriander, chamomile, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Mild herbal/floral/grassy bitterness, yeast spiciness, and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, orange peel, pear, red apple, coriander, chamomile, light pepper/clove, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, raspberries, spices, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance; and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness, and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, fairly crisp, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6.2%. Overall this is a delicious fruited witbier. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, raspberries, spices, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/tart/spicy finish. Perfectly balanced wit yeast, raspberries, spices, and pale/wheat malts. I still prefer the base beer; but this is still a very enjoyable offering, and spot on base style example as expected.

Sampled from a 12 oz bottle this beer poured a murky peach-tan color with a large creamy peach-white head. The aroma was sweet raspberries, musty and yeasty. The flavor was musty with white pepper, coriander and raspberry syrup. Medium length finish. Medium body.
