Can/Fest. A- Wheat, faint berry. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, minimal head. T- Raspberry, straw, wheat. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, yeasty finish. O- Definitely a yeasty wheat beer first and some mild raspberry thrown in. A bit artificial tasting and not my thing but it's okay.

Very cloudy, super hazy pink and grapefruit coloured body with a thick, seven centimetre tall, very soapy and pure white head that leaves a nasty lace on the sides, all the way to the top. Aroma of raspberries of course, fresh blueberries, tart soured funk with a light dose of sugars and a very small amount of wheat as well - very mild in the nose. Light-bodied; Strong fresh raspberry flavour that hits fairly sweet up front with a tiny dose of tart, fruit elements with some apples as well, a small amount of drying spice and coriander seed, but a nice sweetness towards the end that brings out the caster sugar as well. Aftertaste is dry, but very raspberry with the fresh fruits dominating with a lot of crisp elements and a subdued coriander seed and wheat element that makes this very easy-drinking, but packed with flavours, especially those sweet and tart fresh raspberries. Overall, a very nice fruited hef with a perfect hazy glow and a great balance between tart and sweet, all while being very easy-drinking. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Hy-Vee in Lincoln, Nebraska on 24-August-2021 for US$1,67 sampled in my hotel room here in [downtown] Omaha, Nebraska on 26-August-2021, just a few steps away from the brewery here.

Draft. Light red hue on the yellow color. Aroma is plenty of raspberry purée with light yeast. The flavor is pretty nice. A hearty amount of berry with the wheat base. Body is about what it should be for the style. Very easy drinking.
