I am a beer aficionado and love all varieties of this liquid goodness. I was an admin on Ratebeer under the same username, but previously known as "HuskerTan". Same username on Untappd.

Draft.

A- Golden color, hazy liquid, white head.

A- Wheat, mild citrus, spice.

F- Yeasty, wheat, grains, coriander, mild ginger, faint citrus.

T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, yeasty finish.

O- Not bad but felt heavy from the wheat and even rather yeasty. It was not quite as light and refreshing as I wanted it. Still a solid beer though.

Bottle.

A- Dark red color, hazy liquid, no head.

A- Raspberry candy.

F- Raspberry, faintly sweet, slightly acidic, mild funk.

P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.

O- Accidentally allowed this to briefly freeze, oops. I don't think it impacted the flavor much but you never know. This was a 2022 vintage with 3 years of age. Really nice. Raspberry is the star, I did expect a bit more brightness or funk to it but who know what would've come with some more age.
