Tap to rate

Raspberry leads in this wheat beer, a regional favourite from the family microbrewery near Zvíkov: its raspberry aroma comes from natural raspberry flavouring added to the beer. It shares the Rarášek name with the brewery's yeast-driven wheat beer and is brewed at 11° original gravity at the brewery that Josef Valenta and Michal Voldřich founded in 1993.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry dominates the nose, delivered through natural flavoring that sits cleanly atop the beer's wheat and yeast foundation. Soft notes of bread crust and a faint phenolic whisper from the Hefeweizen character emerge on deeper inspection. The fruit-forward profile is neither jammy nor artificial, maintaining freshness and restraint.

◐ Taste

Raspberry leads on the palate with a soft, almost velvet character that integrates smoothly into the wheat beer's body. Mid-palate reveals gentle bready sweetness and a light phenolic warmth typical of wheat yeast fermentation. Bitterness is minimal at 14 IBU, allowing the fruit and malt to carry the flavor through without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with the raspberry fading quickly to leave a faint breadiness and subtle drying sensation. The beer drinks easy and sessionable, inviting another sip without heaviness.
