Great Divide Wild Raspberry Ale: Stumptown Lite

After trying this stuff a couple of weeks ago, it left me pleasantly wanting more, so Frosty and I managed to escape back to Belmont Station on Friday for lunch so that I could pick up a six pack.
I tried it again with dinner tonight: Roast Turkey breast, Fried Stuffing, Corn on the Cob, and turkey gravy…all lovingly home made. Food of the gods washed down with beer of the gods lite.
Wild Raspberry Ale doesn’t rate as highly as Stumptown Tart, but only because it doesn’t have the same depth of flavor. Wild’s flavor is light, clean, definitely fruity, with a slightly sour wine-like finish. It’s essentially Stumptown Lite, and that’s not a bad thing. It’s not a clean drinking meal beer, it’s one of those winding down, sip to relax beers. You could easily pack away 2 or 3 of these whereas you’d have to “work” to do the same thing with the real Stumptown.
Let’s see what Frosty thinks when I pack some of this along on our upcoming two-family camping trip.
