Today we have a special treat from New Glarus Brewing Company, their Raspberry Tart Ale. The bottle has a very catchy logo on the front, two raspberries entangled in vines and leaves. The bottle, before opened, has been dipped in a dark, maroon wax on top of the seal already in place. When poured, the color of his beer is just astounding. The dark cranberry-red color makes it look like you just poured carbonated cranberry juice into a glass. The smell of this beer is just amazing. The front of the bottle says "Raspberry" but you get luscious amounts of strawberry/cranberry/blackberry from the start. It just makes you want to start drinking it immediately! When poured into a glass, it was a carbonation party to kick off. It formed a small, thin frothy top that dissipated quickly after pouring, but maintained its zing for a little while. The flavor of this beer is absolutely incredible. At first, you get what seems to be a tart taste, followed by rich, sour notes of raspberry. This has so much flavor but it does not require sugar to do so. There is a clean finish after a very solid body of flavor. This is probably one of the most full-flavored beers so far and it seems like you could just have one right after another. New Glarus's Raspberry Tart can be found ranging from $6.99-$7.99 for a 1 Pint/9 fl. oz. bottle in 5.0% ALC/VOL. Again, not too syrupy and not sugary sweet, but brewed with an immense amount of flavor. Highly recommended to the beer veterans, but also to people who are not too fond of beer. Great stuff!Appearance: 10/10
