This. It tastes like they poured raspberry syrup in their normal hef.

Guys, Three Floyds' Dark Lord Day is April 27th. Tickets go on sale this Sunday. If you're within driving distance, I strongly recommend going to this to pick up Dark Lord (probably one of the best beers in the world).

I've got an Enjoy by IPA and a growler full of 60 Min. lined up for tonight. It's been a stressful fucking week and I plan on drowning myself in hops.

That beer is awful. Way too fucking sweet.
Raspberry beer ???
Ew, yeah.. I dunno about that.
There's nothing wrong at all with a good hefeweizen or even a raspberry beer if the fruit isn't over the top. That particular beer has way too much raspberry for my taste and it always tasted like they use an extract instead of fruit. Raspberry shouldn't be really sweet in a beer it should actually add a bit of flavor and tartness to it. It can actually give a nice balance to a roasty porter.
I'm not sure if you just had a bad batch, but this was pretty tart.

Maybe they tweaked the recipe but I had this a few times a year ago and had the same experience as vegman.

I only had it once or twice so maybe, but I definitely wouldn't call it tart. Their regular hefe, on the other hand, is pretty decent IMO.

This seems like the thread for this question: does anyone live near the Dogfish Head brewery, or is anyone planning on going there anytime soon?

I was loving my Single Wide IPA, but drank the last one last night?
