Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma of raspberry jam, raspberry yoghurt biscuits and wheat. Taste is full of raspberries that linger in the aftertaste. Quite watery and not a lot else to it.

Cask at Old Dolphin, Derby. Pours a golden amber with a small scummy white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly raspberries with a little added maltiness. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy, but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour has bananas, raspberries, some floral hops and a hint of currants. Finish is quite bitter. Decent – I usually find wheat ales disappointing, but this is one of the better ones.

Bottle from RHS Wisley, as Thoughtful Forager Raspberry Wheat Beer. Aroma is sweet raspberry with a tart edge. A dull amber. Thin frothy translucent white head pretty much disappears. Flavour is all raspberry - tart sourness with sugary sweetness on the periphery ( so the exact opposite to the aroma). Some cloves/herbs. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Oily even. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice enough - delivers the 'spberry without offering a lot of depth.

Cask handpump at The Joseph Else, Nottingham, Saturday 9th April 2016 with dad. Pours warm gold with a short lasting white to off white head. Raspberry notes on the nose, in the mouth this has a sweet fruity tang, I guess that the raspberries are just about discernible, it is absolutely fine however not a beer I would seek out again. We left both this and the Kelham Island Ace of Spades, though this was a little better. . A6 A4 T5 P3 Ov11 2.9
