Spanish Peaks Honey Raspberry Ale

12oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a slowly receding off white head. Heavy aroma of sweet honey and a touch of berries. Taste is dominated by raspberry and some grain, light sweet honey and a little hop bitterness in the finish. Nicely balanced and not overly sweet in the taste.

Pours an opaque, dark brown color. Smells like raspberry, nothing special. Taste is extremely fruity and sweet. A bittery, malty tinge at the end reminds you it’s a beer, but before that it has a distinct "malt beverage" feel to it.

The honey and raspberry add a very subtle hint of flavor, yet not too sweet to the taste. Aroma is average.

Pours amber with a minimal head. Strong aromas of raspberry (artifical) and hops. Tastes of sweet malts and raspberry flavouring, give way to a nice bitter hop finish. No detection of wildflowers or honey in the beer. Although the artifical raspberry is disheartening I still found it to work well with the underlying beer flavours to create a refreshing summer ale.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet artificial berries, some malty sweetness and a grainy finish. Eh.

Pours amber with a thin tan head. Smells of raspberries and some caramel. Tastes buttery wit some fake raspberry on the finish.

Wow! This beer arrived in the glass with almost no head at all. The body was a clear medium amber with no hint of any raspberry in the hue, and well carbonated. The aroma was a nice mix of honey and raspberry as was the taste. Lovely it was. Mouthfeel was a sadly different story, being thin and almost watery. It finished with some raspberry-like tartness.

TAP: light amber pour, raspberry on the nose. Crisp, carbonated, raspberry taste and a dry finish.
