🌍 Australia · Fruit Wheat Ale · One of 12 Fruit Wheat Ales in hopIQ

A wheat beer brewed with real raspberries and hopped only lightly with Cascade, so the fruit sets the tone. Raspberry comes through both tart and sweet, with wheat malt supplying a soft, slightly hazy body underneath and a faint bready note. At 10 IBU there is barely any bitterness; what balance the beer has comes from the acidity of the fruit rather than from the hops.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Frenzy

Appearance

A pale golden hue with a soft, slightly hazy appearance characteristic of wheat beer. The light body allows suspended particles to catch the light gently. Fine, delicate carbonation supports a modest head with moderate lacing that clings to the glass.

pale goldenslightly hazydelicate carbonationfine lacing

Aroma

The nose leads with bright raspberry fruit, both tart and sweet in character, backed by the soft grain notes of wheat malt. Cascade hops contribute a subtle floral restraint rather than assertive herbal or citrus notes. A faint bready quality rounds out the aromatic profile without dominating.

Taste

Entry is smooth and fruit-forward, with real raspberry fruit providing both brightness and gentle acidity on the palate. The wheat malt supplies a soft, slightly grainy foundation that allows the fruit acidity to define the beer's balance rather than hop bitterness. At 10 IBU, bitterness is negligible; the finish is driven instead by the natural tartness of the raspberry.

Finish

Medium-short and clean, with the raspberry acidity fading into a gentle, slightly dry aftertaste. The wheat character lingers softly as the fruit recedes.
