Commercial Description:
A light bodied amber ale made with wildflower honey and natural raspberry. These ingredients, combined with five domestic and imported malted barleys, Pacific Northwest hops, water and ale yeast, creat a unique, fruity ale with a soft palate and a touch of sweetness.

Editor's Note: It is unknown at present exactly where each of the Spanish Peaks beers are being brewed. Flying Dog no longer makes any of them. Some are brewed by City Brewery in LaCrosse, WI. Expect this beer entry to move as more recent info becomes available.

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.

Golden with a fizzy white head. Raspberry and honey aroma and taste. Kinda medicinal.

Poured a hazy amber with a thin off-white head. Tart, fruit aroma. Big malts in the initial flavor with a sweetness from probably the honey. I couldn’t detect many raspberry notes but that could be a good thing but may have contributed to the little bit of sour character the beer possessed. A little bit of hops in the finish. Overall, a little too dry and not much depth.

Pours copper tinted amber with a 2 finger quickly fading off white head. Aroma is perfumey berry glycerine soap, fresh grain, raspberry and some citrus. Flavor is raspberry, cherry, barley cereal, floral notes and a dry mineral finish. Palate is thin and remarkably dry throughout with a soft carbonation. This stuff isn’t too bad but the flavor just ends up being a little too weak and washed out for me. Might make a decent lawnmower beer but thats about it.

(bottle). Pours an amber color. White head which diminishes quickly. Grainy wheat aroma. Tart berry taste. Smooth finish, with lively carbonation.

Pours a deep amber with just a small fading head. Aroma is indeed of raspberry, but the artificial kind found in candy, Kool-Aid, iced tea, et cetera. Flavor is just fuckin’ awful. It’s just so tart, like lime juice, and that just dominates everything else. I hope I cop a buzz off of this stuff, otherwise it will have been a complete waste of money. Overall poor to fair.
