COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the Blue Moon Brewery's full line of handcrafted ales, Raspberry Cream Ale starts with Cascade hops from the Northwest, and caramel and two-row pale malts. Then we add whole and pureed raspberies to give it a balanced taste with a creamy finish.

Bottle at GABF. Pours a ruddy pinkish ambery looking thing. White head. Nose is raspberry jam, though somewhat subdued. On tasting, more of the creamy raspberry, light tartness. Lots of tannin comes through and an iced tea type note. Pretty interesting beer and not bad.

I absolutely love this beer. I used to drink it all the time. Now I can’t find it anymore. I’m sure it’s still around. Man I miss this stuff. Great raspberry flavor mixed in with wheat. Nice stuff! Hard to believe it’s actually brewed by Coors. They certainly got this one right!

This rating is from memory, but i remember i time when i drank plenty of it from the tap at Fitgers Brew House. Like a raspberry cream of wheat.... or something. It was a damn good beer.

This was one of my first favorites. Spend several afternoons drinking from a six of this. I have contacted BM asking them to start brewing this again. It was good.

This is a very interesting beer. Color is light amber. Aroma is very berry-like with a tad bit of spice. Taste like a raspberrycream wheat smoothie with a bite. One of the best from Blue Moon.

UPDATED: APR 4, 2007 Bottle. Light colored and bodied, this was considered a treat at age 21, got some of my friends into better beer with this and the Blue Moon White. Sweet and malty with a heavy raspberry taste. Fairly smooth.

DocLock (5966) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 16, 2004
Pours slightly turbid dark straw colored, with good raspberry aroma. Tastes like a wheaty raspberry beer, with a sweet, berry, wheat finish. This is a nice style.

Color is hazy amber, with a decent white head about two fingers high and had patchy thick lace. Smell is faint raspberries, fresh and perhaps even real, didn't seem artificial. Very fresh, and I just happen to like raspberries, so kudos to Coor's if they're using real and fresh raspberries. Also has notes of sweet malt and vanilla. Taste is sharp, tart raspberry with a somewhat subdued malt backing. Has some mild hops in the finish and is slightly dry. The feel is smooth and clean but lacking in depth and any real character. Its not very creamy at all, felt more like a mild brown or mild amber. This isn't to bad but I'd rather have something else.
