Revisiting Raspberry Wit

I managed to squeeze in a brewing session during this past holiday weekend and I wanted to make something light for the late days of summer. McMenamins Ruby is the first beer I think of when I picture having a beer in the hot summer sun and this recipe is the second attempt in my ongoing effort to brew a beer similar to that one.

For this batch I am lowering the amount of raspberries from three pounds to one. In the first batch I thought the berry flavor was overpowering.
