Commercial Description:
Great Divide's mantra is that real fruit makes real beer, so Great Divide ferments Wild Raspberry Ale with hundreds of pounds of real red and black raspberries. Wild Raspberry Ale is a truly effervescent, ruby red ale that achieves the almost impossible balance between malted barley and tart raspberry fruitiness. Its naturally tart character makes Wild Raspberry the ultimate accompaniment to spicy Mexican food or on its own as a stand-alone session beer.

12oz bottle. Pours amber with a slight head. The aroma of berries is stronger than the taste though, for me, the berry taste takes away from what is probably a an OK ale.

Bottle. Pours an average, off-white, foamy head. Diminishing. Clear, reddish-purple body. Light raspberry in the nose and some pale malt. Lots of raspberry flavor with noticeable tartness. A touch of seltzer. Light body. Dry, clean, crisp finish. Lively carbonation.

Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured roan with an off-white head. Aroma was full of raspberry notes. Flavor had a few hoppy notes that balanced nicely with the tart raspberries.

On tap during the annual Boston/Salem/Marble head tour. Sampled at the Sunset grill. Amber pour, nose of rasberry a little thin for my liking but it was a solid fruit beer.

Poured from the bottle with little to no head. Nice deep red color, with a light raspberry and malt nose. Carbonation is light, sweetness is present, but not overpowering. Flavor is great on first sip - a good mix of raspberry and breadiness, but the finish is almost non-existent. Thought it was a good half of a beer for that reason. If it could finish, it would get a much better rating.

The beer is definitely raspberry. Great initially, great aroma, aftertaste is horrible.

Tastes almost more like a soda, with a tart taste. Not my type of beer, but I can still see why people like it. Smooth, refreshing, flavorful, different beer...
