Inspired by the Blue Moon Brewery's full line of handcrafted ales, Raspberry Cream Ale starts with Cascade hops from the Northwest, and caramel and two-row pale malts. Then we add whole and pureed raspberies to give it a balanced taste with a creamy finish.

Pours slightly turbid dark straw colored, with good raspberry aroma. Tastes like a wheaty raspberry beer, with a sweet, berry, wheat finish. This is a nice style.

Medium reddish brown color, medium head. Raspberry aroma. Medium bodied ale. Sweet and fruity. There are some malts and hops in this beer, but they are really masked. The raspberry flavor is rich and creamy and rather pleasant, but it not really very beer-like. Still tastes ok, but don’t think I would drink this one a lot. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is sweet.

Drinkable, not a fruit beer drinker, but i always try them out. Nice fruity nose, good malt and hop presence, but not something I would drink as a rule.

Color is hazy amber, with a decent white head about two fingers high and had patchy thick lace. Smell is faint raspberries, fresh and perhaps even real, didn't seem artificial. Very fresh, and I just happen to like raspberries, so kudos to Coor's if they're using real and fresh raspberries. Also has notes of sweet malt and vanilla. Taste is sharp, tart raspberry with a somewhat subdued malt backing. Has some mild hops in the finish and is slightly dry. The feel is smooth and clean but lacking in depth and any real character. Its not very creamy at all, felt more like a mild brown or mild amber. This isn't to bad but I'd rather have something else.

A friend of mine bought this once, and I'm surprised to see how few people have managed to get ahold of it. In my opinion, it wasn't all that great. Sweet, but not in a way that was altogether pleasant on the tongue. Decent aroma to it, but also nothing spectacular. All around, an average fruit beer. Not even CLOSE to a great fruit beer like Quelque Chose.

I’m not a big fruit beer fan, but as far as raspberry beers go this is the best I’ve tried. Smooth, creamy raspberry flavor and aroma. Not cloyingly sweet like some others I’ve tried. Attractive reddish/amber color. Very refreshing.
