2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 DrSilverworm (1041) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 22, 2011
12oz bottle, purchased from Dutch’s for $1.58. Clear, and the color is indeed ruby red. Minimal white lace, and a bit of head. Carbonation is a bit strong, but the raspberry aroma is definitely there. It just kinda tastes a bit watered down. Almost tasteless - sweet, but barely. I love raspberries, but I guess I’m not a fan of them being in my beer.

Bottle - pours a clear ruby red with a slight white head. Aroma - malt, grass, cherries, and raspberries. Taste is a balnce of tart and bitter that reminds me more of grapefruit then what I would expect with raspberries. Overall, it is not a bad effort, but it seems to not know what it’s supposed to be. With a name like wild raspberry, I’m expecting a lambic inspired ale with more sour and sweet notes. Instead I got grapefruit. Disappointing.

Pours clear reddish with white head, aroma has notes of raspberry, bread, some slight caramel. Simple but effective, taste is nice sweet raspberry but has a nice tart note, with some biscuit, slight caramel, nice sweet and tart raspberry. Not bad.

The beer pours a medium brick red color with a white head. The aroma is caramel malt with a bunch of semi-sweet raspberry notes. The flavor is raspberry with some bready malt and a some grassy hops. The beer is not as sweet as expected and there is a little bit of dryness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Decent, but there are much better fruit beers out there.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Cybercat (1908) - Georgia, USA - JUL 20, 2011
Strong aroma is mainly raspberry, and I LOVE raspberry! It has some malty and yeasty hints as well. Color is a clear Coca-Cola brown with a fine-bubbled pale tan head that sticks around for a little bit and leaves behind a little lacing. Malty flavor has a firm and sharp raspberry undertone, a little sweetness, a little fruity tartness and a whisper of yeast. Texture is smooth as almond milk, but with a tart edge and a little fizz.

Dark red murky pour, with an off white head. Aroma of sour raspberries, and sme sweet jam. Flavor is more of the same with a light refreshing tartness. Body is nice, and the carbonation is spot on. Refreshing and well made.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a white wine glass. Pours cloudy crimson red with small golden highlights. Some lacing, medium body, and watery. Taste is light malt, some hops, and a hint of raspberry. This is a fruit beer?

On tap.
Pours a slightly cloudy ambrosia, with a small off white head. Smells mildy fruity, definitely get some raspberry and cranberry in there.
Nice fruit flavor, not overdone.
