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.

This pours a dark reddish color in the glass with a great head. A wonderful araoma of fruit and malts and a tad of hops. The flavor was awesome. Berry beers are very hard to make and they do nt store well. Great Job brewing and I really liked this beer.

From the bottle, pours a deep hazy amber, with a bubbly, slightly reddish head. True to it’s name, smells like berries. Kinda like a black cherry soda. Lots of berries in the taste. Really berry. Not bad, if you want fruit beer.

Nice raspberry flavor, not too overpowering. More than one or two might be too sweet, but it was a refreshing brew.

im not a huge fruit beer fan. this one impressed me that they actually used pureed berries as aposed to extracts. what you would expect a pink brown substance with a large tan head. nose of mixed berries. flavor bosts mostly the same palate of raspberries without the bitter extract fuzz in the back end.

(on bottle) The aroma hits hard, this is fruit, yes, it is raspberies, ok. The colour is very pretty, sort like the ideal ruby; dark rad with hues of brown.Whitehead. The taste nd body becomes thin, compared to the sent, and there is moment if irritating biterness fon the malts, but the finish become quite full and caramel-ike, with a hin of berries

Bottle. Clear red coloured with an off white head. Sweet aroma of berries. Sweet flavour of berries, especially raspberries, with notes of hops. The body is thin.

This beer pours a deep ruby red to copper color with a fairly sizable head from the start but it did subside quickly. The head had a slight lavender tint to it with a minor level of lacing. The aroma was unsurprisingly dominated by raspberries, malts and hints of syrupyness. The flavor is medium bodied and reminds me a lot of raspberry syrup at the international house of pancakes. Fairly bland watered down flavor...little malt presence but a sticky honeyness to the raspberry. Fairly active carbonation leads into a mess which flattens out as soon as its in the mouth past 1/2 a second. Unimpressively boring in most respects and to boot Im not even a raspberry fan so consider me not disappointed. Dry finish but nastily syrupy and cardboardy.
