Rubaeus from Founders Brewing Company is a fruit-forward wheat ale from Grand Rapids, Michigan, celebrating raspberries with intensity and restraint. Fresh raspberries are added at five stages during brewing, delivering pronounced berry character without cloying sweetness. The beer's deep red hue and light carbonation create a smooth mouthfeel more akin to a stout or brown ale than a typical wheat beer.

Malty sweetness plays against subtle acidity, leading to a rather dry finish that keeps the beer refreshing and food-friendly.
