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.

Appearance: Pours an amber body with a quickly dieing, white head. Smell: Straight-up scent of raspberry-flavored cough syrup. Ugh. Look ashamed, Spanish Peaks Mascot Dog! Taste: Pale malts with a caramel sweetness and a hint of toothsome honey. Then BANG it’s the slighty off-putting raspberry taste. Citrusy, earthy hops with a medium bitterness. The hops can scrub away the sweetness, but can’t manage to loosen that gacky raspberry flavoring from my tongue. Sip of Perrier. Drying, faux raspberry finish. Mouthfeel: Just barely medium-bodied. Just barely above medium carbonation. Drinkability: I would’ve much preferred the base beer minus the natural raspberry flavoring. Whaddya say, Spanish Peaks? Think we can swing that?

This stuff is great. It was very much like iced tea, but there was no wateriness, a nice full brew.

12oz bottle(Brewed Lacrosse, WI on label)-Pours a hazyamber with a small ring for a head and an aroma of raspberry and honey. Taste of raspberry, tartness, and a dryness and bitterness on the back end. This light bodied brew is not bad but I wish the raspberry was a bit more real tasting.

I am just a sucker for these beers. A great light beer base where the honey compliments the raspberry.

Courtesy of Law_Student09. Copper color with no head. Light raspberry aroma. Sickly sweet rapsberry taste. Tastes like a bad fruit extract.
