Nov 8, 2007 Great Divide’s Wild Raspberry Ale (bottle) smelled good, looked pretty, but the taste...not so good. It was a nice deep red-brown with a substantial tan-white head and smelled strongly of raspberry (of course). The taste was only a little sweeter and a little more tart than a regular ol’ beer, and it seemed overly bitter. Wild Raspberry wasn’t necessarily terrible, but, if I’m in the mood for raspberry, I’ll obviously go for a lambic.

Oct 31, 2007 10/24/07 From the bottle. Aroma is like a fruity cola, kind of syrupy, with the obvious raspberry note. Appearance is reddish amber with a low off-white head. Flavor is an even fruit/malt balance with low bittering and no hop flora. Mouthfeel is spritzy, medium bodied, with a low creamy texture. Overall, not bad, but too rich to have more than one for a real beer drinker.

Oct 24, 2007 Pours reddish brown with a loose, frothy, pinkish-beige head that diminishes leaving wispy lace. Nice, natural raspberry aroma with a light malt backing. The mouthfeel is light to medium-bodied with aggressive carbonation and an abrasively dry finish. Solid raspberry front with a dry malt backing and a crisp finish. A decent fruit that would probably pair well with spicy food or chocolate, but by itself its a bit too dry, in the finish, for my tastes.

Oct 16, 2007 Ruby red to brownish in color. Effervescent, great carbonation. Taste is mainly fresh raspberries with a touch of light sweet caramel in the finish.

Oct 10, 2007 Had this beer on 11/12/1998. Color is a deep red with good carbonation and light head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Taste is tart and light. It starts with a medium/light body that goes down smooth. The finish is a light tart fruit taste with back tones of malt. The flavor is more a general fruit taste rather than a raspberry. Very good fruit flavored brew.

Oct 2, 2007 12 oz bottle. Reddish brown with a beige head. Sweet raspberry puree nose, not artificial smelling - nice. Mild caramel notes. Sweet raspberry flavors, mildly tart toward the end. Decent sweet malty tone, just slightly weaker than the berries. A good fruit beer - maybe a bit underrated.
