A-Cloudy orange-pink, sediment, one finger head that doesn't last long.

S-Raspberries, wheat. Not much else.

T-Raspberries are not overpowering, nice wheat, good balance, unlike a lot of fruit beers.

M-Light, not much carbonation, a tad on the watery.

O-Easy drinking, good balance, raspberries were not overpowering which was pleasant, where too many fruit beers have overpowering fruit.

I poured a bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance- Cloudy reddish-amber color with a fingers worth of head. Fair amount of lacing.

Smell- Faint wheat aroma with a hint of raspberry.

Taste- Wheat malt flavor with some tart raspberry. Not overly complex.

Mouthfeel- Light bodied and slightly dry. An average amount of carbonation.

Overall- While this is not my favorite raspberry flavored beer it is still an easy drinking one. Unlike other fruit beers the sweetness comes from the malt and not the fruit.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass.

A: Pours a hazy reddish-amber color. The head is a two finger white shade. Extremely frothy in texture, it doesn't have the best retention by any means, but it leaves some nice lacing on the glass.

S: There definitely is a note of raspberry in here...only problem is, it comes across in a rather unpleasant manner - dare I say like a cross between stomach acid and pure butter. Yikes, not good.

T: Better than the crappy aroma indicated. It's still hilariously buttery at times, but there is a decent raspberry flavor in the midtaste. The more I sip, the less the butter flavors appear and the more it transforms into a generic wheat character with augmenting raspberry notes. On the plus side, there's minimal cloying sweetness.

M: Light and crisp, with strong carbonation. If the flavors were better, this would be spectacularly easy to drink - it still kind of is, though.

O: Not Schlafly's finest work by any stretch. The lack of overdone sweetness is good, so it's only a subpar wheat ale (NOT a hefeweizen, damn you!) with a bit of raspberry tartness instead of a disastrously artificial sugar bomb. Nothing I need to ever have again, however.
