A Note on This Beer

If you haven’t gotten wise to Wiley Roots, it’s time to find out what Colorado’s craft fans already know: this crew is creating some of the finest brews in the Rockies!

If you don’t believe us, check this out — the Colorado Sun just released their picks for 2020 Brewery of the Year, 2020 Beer of the Year, and 2021 Brewery to Watch. Wiley Roots earned a spot as a finalist in ALL THREE CATEGORIES!

No other brewery can make that claim.

So, when we finally had an opportunity to snag today’s Raspberry Heritage Berliner Weisse, of course we jumped on it!

The brewers at Wiley Roots brightened up this Berliner with tangy, whole-fruit raspberry purée for a kiss of fresh-off-the-vine flavor. Plenty of wheat in the mash makes for a soft, well rounded body that embraces the berry notes like a smear of jam on a slice of freshly toasted bread.

It’s bright, smooth, easy drinking, and unless you’re heading to Colorado, you won’t find a drop anywhere but here. Heck, we only have 50 cases for all of Tavour!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

This was amazing. Seemed very dialed in. Nice refreshing mouth feel. Tart, but tons of raspberry comes through. Top notch sour here

Huge fresh raspberry and light wheat notes in aroma. Light tartness up front with subtle raspberry and wheat notes on back end.

Raspberry flavor is well pronounced. Crisp with light carbonation. The perfect after taste of wheat. A refreshing beer, perfect for a hot summer day.

The aroma is fantastic. The flavor is very good. Nice clear wheat beer flavors and a good raspberry flavor as well. Unfortunately, I feel like the flavor is too brief. It definitely needs to linger more, but it’s a nice beer, nonetheless.

Ordered from Tavour, chilled and poured into an imperial pint glass. Look: light raspberry color, cloudy and pleasant wheat hue, small finger sized head that dissipated quickly leaving no foam or lacing at all. Smell: raspberry on the front nose with hidden wheat maltiness that smells light and refreshing Taste: berry on the front end, replaced by raspberry, a light sour in the middle, followed by wheat maltiness that is light and subtle. No booze and no hop at all. Feel: sour, light, refreshing body with hardly any carbonated tickle to speak of, there is a little on the tongue but never makes it to the palate It is exactly as described. Berliner weisse with raspberry. Bren loves raspberries but is not a huge fan of wheat beers. With raspberry purée I suppose one could want more mouthfeel, but this is a beverage I could see drinking on a warm summer day and come away from the can refreshed and wanting another. Cheers everyone!

I’m usually a Wiley Roots fan, but this didn’t do much for me. It wasn’t bad by any means, but I’m glad I only bought one can.

Too subtle. More like raspberry water. Not really my cup of tea (beer). Partially my fault, didn’t read the “wheat ale” part and mistakenly thought it was an actual Berliner style kettle sour.

Sour with watered down raspberry water

Just like Rubaeus, great raspberry flavor! Subtle yet noticeable enough to make it work!

Good flavor- really nice smell. The wheat ale makes the raspberry taste a little watered down, but the sour end is nice.

Has Raspberry seeds but a lack of raspberry flavor. Not bad but doesn’t compare to New Glarus raspberry tart

Smells better than it tastes. Raspberry and wheat on the front, a bit of a watered-down aftertaste

Not as good of a head as an pictured, but honestly a refreshing fruited sour. Drink after mowing the lawn or lounging by the pool.

Faint raspberry flavor. Light and crisp, but a bit bland.
