Raspberry Wheat

Tap to rate

Raspberry and a touch of honey on a wheat beer: the brewery adds raspberry extract and honey to its County Seat Wheat for a berry-sweet pint, pitched at anyone who usually reaches for white zinfandel. It is one of Blind Tiger's best sellers and, like the base beer, brewed in Topeka, Kansas, where the brewpub has poured its own beers since 1995.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Raspberry Wheat

◎ Appearance

Pale straw-gold with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine Schaumhaftung. The carbonation is lively and uniform, leaving delicate trails of bubbles throughout the pour. Light transmission reveals a crystalline quality typical of wheat ales brewed to this pale range.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft wheat notes and a prominent berry character—raspberry extract dominates without becoming cloying or artificial. Beneath the fruit sits a gentle honey sweetness and a whisper of floral Edelhopfen, keeping the aroma balanced and inviting. The overall impression is fruity and honeyed, with no harsh solvent or yeast-forward qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with wheat grain and berry fruit in equal measure, followed by a smooth mid-palate where honey adds roundness and a hint of residual sweetness. Bitterness remains restrained (18 IBU), allowing the adjuncts to shine without becoming one-dimensional. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing, with no astringency or sharp edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry-leaning, with the berry and honey notes fading gracefully into a clean wheat aftertaste. Residual sweetness lingers briefly but does not cloy; the beer drinks refreshingly to the last sip.
