This afternoon I bring to you a Raspberry Wheat from Alaskan Brewing. This refreshing wheat ale is fermented with raspberries during fermentation. This is something that I have been wanting to do for awhile (Except, I want to use Cherries). The beer is pretty much as advertised and exactly what you would think it would look like. A red tinge in the glass, a touch of raspberry on the nose, and a nice raspberry flavor. It is not overpowering like I feared it might be, nor is it comparable to a lambic (which I thought it would be). Instead you have a nice tartness that is nigh on perfect. If I was to buy this again, I would probably split it, the whole bomber is a bit sweet after awhile. Still worth giving a try if you can find it though. This would go VERY well with cheesecake. I however would ensure that I had a cup of coffee for afterwards to balance all that sweet.
