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.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy red with a cripsy light brown head. Very raspberry fruity aroma, smells like very sweet sodapop. Flavour has raspberry but quite dry. Ends dry as well but with a bit more fruit.

Bottle. Raspberry malt flavor. Red-amber color with small head. Light raspberry malt flavor with a light hops finish. Average fruit beer but did like the hoppiness of this one.

Substantial raspberry aroma. Maybe a bit of malt. Very reddish color with a white head that turns to film. Thin to medium body. Carbonation is smooth and moderate - no bite. Starts with raspberry juice, has some malt that is sort of overwhelmed, and is followed by more raspberry; finishes dry and bitter. The bitter is more like chewed raspberry seeds than hop. Real fruit does make real fruit beer. Kudos for an excellent effort.

RE-RATED 8/2007: On tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Has a slight raspberry aroma. Good creamy carbonation. Nice friendly raspberry flavors, more likable. OLD RATING: Smelled of fresh cranberry/raspberry. Thick foamy head. Not as sweet as I expected. Finish of a little bitter hops. Not as good as great divide esb or dpa.

Bottle: Pours an amber reddish color that is just darker than a fruit flavored iced tea. The head is large, but dissapeared rapidly. A bit overly carbonated in my opinion, has some raspberry notes, as well as a sweet & sour character. Thin bodied and pretty basic, there are better fruit beers out there.
