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.

Pinkish red in color, fizzy off beige head. Pleasant raspberry aroma. Flavor is a little beerier with notes of raspberry and some light bitterness. Light to medium boied. Decent summer beer.

Amber body with a pink hue to it. Slightly off-white thin head. Crisp and light sweet hop aroma, with very light raspberry hints. Taste is an unpleasant, but not awful cereally dry raspberry concoction.

Pours almost the color of the label with a minimal head. Aroma is loaded with wild raspberries and a sweet sugary smell. Flavor was actually more bland as there wasnt as much fruit flavor as the aroma would lead you to believe. Slightly sweet but finishes tart and moderately dry. Pretty good overall, but I would expect more from this great brewery.

Couleur cuivrée aux reflets rougeâtres, peu de mousse beige pale. Cette version utilise des framboises rouges et noires, chose que les arômes semblent appuyer. Framboises variées, crayon à colorier, cire à chandelle et traces de beurre rappelant le diacetyl. Flaveurs de malt et de timides fruits, toujours un peu diacetyl, mi-sucré balancé par une faible touche d’acidité. Légère, simple et rafraîchissante. Corps d’épaisseur plutôt mince, forte carbonatation occupant beaucoup d’espace. Échantillon en fut au American Beer Fest, Boston, 18 Juin 2005.

When I first poured this beer, I noticed the Raspberry color that imbedded the ale. Taste of tart raspberry and mild citrus taste. high malt, low hops. Enjoy casually

This was a crazy one, didn’t really taste like beer at all, maybe a little too fruity, but it was a great creamy raspberry both red and black mixed together, it tasted like a damn popsicle.
