OAKEN BARREL RAZZ-WHEAT

12 FL. OZ., O.G. 12' P, ABV 5%( not on label)

Brewed and Bottle By Oaken Barrel Brewing Co. Greenwood, IN

FROM THE LABEL: "Fresh. Local. Handcrafted. Raspberry wheat beer."

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBrewed with fresh Oregon Raspberries, Razz has a slightly sweet flavor and clean refreshing finish to quench even the biggest thirst. Unlike syrupy impostors, Razz balances the crisp, citrus-like tones of wheat malt and the tartness of the berries-without overpowering the natural flavor of the beer.

FROM THE MOUTH: FRUIT/VEGETABLE BEER: What an interesting color- it is more of a cloudy, persimmon look. Wasn't sure what to expect after it poured out this pale color and smelling  raspberries..........hmm, mostly flat tart raspberry taste; tastes a bit like a wine cooler but not that sweet. Can't taste much beer here so don't know what to think- a confused beer or a wayward wine cooler. On a hot Indiana afternoon, when the sweat is dripping down the back of your neck, this might be something you could pull from the cooler and chug. B

FROM THE STORE: Another sample from my sister Peg all the way from Indiana- thanks Peg.
