“Packed with raspberry flavours, this fruited witbier is as delicious as it is unique. It will delight you with its beautiful body, wonderful aroma and slight tartness. A beer, passionately designed for that perfect day.”

Glassware: Trappist tulip.

Appearance: Light pinkish hue, turning more of a pinkish-orange on the edges. Quite a creamy/hazy aspect. It forms two fingers of frothy white head which forms a thick collar. Reasonable lacing as we go.

Aroma: Dominant yet well tempered raspberry notes meeting the olfactory’s initially. Could say a touch of strawberries and cream also. Certainly a heady vanilla accent, some natural tartness from the fruit, a defined minerality and raw oats in support. We’re kinda picking up more obscure wheat grains and orange peel as it settles. It all comes together rather nicely.

Flavour: It’s all about the raspberries on entry. It’s very dry though, feels (and tastes) like a heavy handed use of oats in the malt bill. The raspberry slowly tapers off and a very faint hint of whipped cream and cereal grain bridges the mid. One last little cameo of raspberry before it punctuates on a mildly creamy and grainy finish.

Mouthfeel: Fairly light on, creamy, mineraly. A little on the dry side. There’s a lovely effervescence to it and the 5.1% ABV is about right for the style.

Overall: Not what we were expecting. We were hoping for more of a framboise but hey, in the end it was a half decent drop.
