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.

Bottled from the tap room. Very light, refreshing, fruit beer. Fairly simple and easy drinking. The raspberries were nice and did not seem like a chemical flavouring. Missed out on the tartness though.

I like this one. I don’t usually go for fruit beers as they are usually too syrupy. THis one is different. The flavor hits you hard, but very cleanly, ulnlike Sam Adams Cherry Wheat..and the finish is clean, you don’t feel like you’ve just eaten a hard candy like most fruit beers.

This is really just as it is advertised. It pours a clear brilliant red with a slightly pink head which settle quickly leaving little lacing. It smell like raspberry. It taste like raspberry soda where the sugar has been replaced by a slight hop finish. I enjoyed this and could easily see drinking it again, sitting in the shade after a long hike or a day of yard work, This is really a nice refreshing simple beer.

Another nasty fruit beer. Poured ruby red with a white head. Aroma of fruit. Nasty mix of fruit, water, and carbination.

Colored a bit like raspberry soda, almost a bubbly. Slight hint of raspberry without being overly sacchrine.

Very simple beer. Taste is floral, lots of raspberry but sort of in an artificial way. There’s nothing complex behind the raspberry taste, it’s very watery. My wife likes it, but to me at best it’s an in-between real beers beer that helps you reset your pallet kind of like ginger is with sushi. It’s drinkable but I could only do one at a time because it’s a little too fragrant.

Basic beer, with plastic raspberry flavour added. Quite synthetic tasting, somehoppy, not sweet, a chick beer. Nt too gret, thinnish and not finishable. Reddish tinged flavour, with some white head that becomes the lace.

Flaske: Brunrød øl med et meget lille tyndt skumhoved. Kraftig duft af hindbær og humlesignaturen fra Great divide. Smagen er tydelig hindbær. Lækker øl.
