A sweet, tart refreshing fruit wheat beer fermented with red and black raspberries as well as blueberries. Hazy fuchsia in color topped by a white head with a hint of pink, this beer looks as sweet as it tastes. Aromas of raspberries, blueberry skins and bready malt match its slightly dry flavor while wheat malt accentuates the tartness of the berries. Its medium-light body and effervescent carbonation make it a perfect summer refreshment.

Bottle from De Bierverteller, Utrecht. Aroma is sweet raspberries with raspberry candy, notes of blueberries, light wheat. Flavour is medium sweet with a little bitterness. Body is medium. Not as sweet as most beers in this style, not my thing but not bad either.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 5/23/2017. Pours slightly hazy deep ruby red/amber/light purple color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big juicy blueberry, raspberry, cherry, plum, apricot, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of berries, bready malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy blueberry, raspberry, cherry, plum, apricot, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/grassy/spicy bitterness and tangy fruit tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of blueberry, raspberry, cherry, plum, apricot, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, bready malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitter/tartness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.3%. Overall this is a very nice fruited wheat ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, bready malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and easy to drink with the mildly tart/bitter/drying finish. Great balance between fruit and wheat beer flavors, with nice complimenting yeast fruitiness; and just enough earthy hops for balance. A very enjoyable offering.

On tap at Huron Room. Pours a clear deep reddish amber with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma is full of sweet berries with a backbone of sweet wheat. Flavor has lots of sweet berries with some sweet wheat underlying.
