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. Whole Foods in Orlando, Sand Lake. Rosé colored, Foamy white head. Aroma of fresh Blackberries. Some raspberry and black pepper. Wow, smells of fresh juice. Very sweet flavor. Not of fruit syrup like most fruit beers but of fresh juice. Remarkable. Very nice fruit profile, distant malt backbone. Extremly refreshing. This is a good one for the ladies. 01 Aug 09. 8,5,6,5,13

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep red color. I really don’t smell much of an aroma, there is a hint of some berries but other then that kind of bland. Slight raspberry flavor with a hint of something roasted. This is decent, but not anything special.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Big sweet and sour raspberry with a hint of chocolate. My fiancee would love this.

Reddish brown pour with huge offwhite head, way too carbonated as it spilled over the bottle. Hint of raspberry in the flavor, though the aroma is very hoppy. So-so.

Pours reddish brown with a huge offwhite head. Nose is raspberry. Taste is raspberry and grapefruit. Decent, but unremarkable.

Dark red-brown pour with a loose white head and spotty lacing. Aroma is pure raspberry syrup, sweet. The taste is mostly raspberries, nice and seedy, but has a hidden but noticeable malt backbone, caramel, that keeps it from being one note.
