Tap to rate

Raspberry leads this wheat ale, made with real raspberries that are added after fermentation so the fruit stays up front. The grist is Pilsner and wheat malts, house ale yeast ferments it, and the result is a lighter-bodied beer at 4.7% ABV. Leisure Cruise Raspberry Wheat is a Brewery Only release brewed in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Leisure Cruise

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a soft haze from the wheat malt and natural fruit suspension. The head is modest but persistent, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation is moderate and even, appropriate for a fruit-forward wheat ale designed for approachability.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry dominates the nose immediately, bright and natural from the post-fermentation fruit addition. Beneath lies a gentle wheat character with soft bready notes from the Pilsner and wheat malt bill. The house ale yeast contributes subtle fruity esters that complement rather than compete with the raspberry.

◐ Taste

Raspberry flavour leads on entry with pleasant tartness and genuine fruit presence, never cloying. The mid-palate shows the light wheat body with a clean malt backbone; low bitterness (14 IBU) allows the fruit and grain to sit equally. Finish is crisp and refreshing, with residual raspberry fading to a dry, slightly wheaten conclusion.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium, lingering gently with fading raspberry and a hint of wheat grain. Clean and thirst-quenching, leaving no astringency.
