bottle - Pours a ridiculously huge head. I was able to keep from losing any beer as the bottle didn’t overflow on me like some experienced, but it took several stages to finish pouring this beer. It’s pink with a mess of small yeast floaters. The head leaves some lacing. The aroma is very much of raspberry with some yeast in there as well. The flavor is dominated by raspberry. It’s sweet with some mild hops in there that comes through more in the finish. It’s light and refreshing, but avoids being watery, unlike a couple other raspberry wheats beers I’ve had recently. It’s far from my favorite style, but really this brew is a pretty good fruit beer.

Hazy orange-red body, medium off-white/light pink head. Light, biscuity aroma with raspberry syrup notes, little to no wit character noted. Bitter, somewhat spicy flavor with raspberry skin (thus, the beer isn’t necessarily sweet) and a touch of herbal/floral hops, rather tea-like and a touch soapy, characteristics of several Arcadia beers. Summer fruit beers are about as tired as summer wheat beers...

2004 MBG Fest. Pours a light copper tinged white/pink with some foamy white head. Smells sweet and lightly yeasty. Lots of fructose in there (rasberries are used to brew this one). True to the aroma, it’s got quite the impressive amount of raspberries. Very apparent throughout the beer. Plenty of sweet malt, medium bodied with a light bitterness coming from the hops towards the finish. Plenty of raspberry lingers on the finish. Good balance of sweet/tart but just not much else going on here besides the raspberry flavor. Body is lightly chewy with the wheat noticeable. As far as raspberry wheats go, this one is the best example I’ve had (not saying much). Don’t know why they call it a wit, didnt find any belgian wit characteristics.
