Harbor City Raspberry Brown Ale

After having Milwaukee Ale Houses bad malt liquor, I did the unthinkable and ordered a beer from another brewer. They had this on tap, and the waitress recommended it. A very tasty fruit beer, it helped to get the bad aftertaste of my previous beer out of my mouth.

The raspberry flavor was tart without being overpowering. I thought they did a pretty good job of making a fruit beer that was still a beer. The raspberry was more in the nose and in the initial taste, letting bitterness take over at the end.

Dark ruby amber color with a light tan head. Malt and raspberry aroma. Sweet caramel and tart raspberry flavors not very complex but decent flavors. Beat a lot of the other "barley pops".

Small white head with a clear light brown/orange body. Fairly full raspberry nose with some chocolate hints. Has a bitter/sour raspberry start with a very light dry/sweet coffee finish. I think this claims to be a winter beer, so the flavor may be going down a bit? Its not bad, in fact its pretty good, just slightly sour.

Murky reddish brown color with a white bubble ring. Smells like raspberries with a bit of brown sugar. Tastes like grassily bitter raspberries with background caramel sweetness. There’s nothing amazing going on in this beer, but it’s a pretty decent effort at a fruit beer IMO.
