Entry number four from the Lowes Foods create-a-six-pack goes to Dark Horse's Raspberry ale. The brewery (http://www.darkhorsebrewery.com) is based out of Michigan and emphasizes the beer over the fruit. It is evident in this beer because the raspberry taste is mild and there's just enough to distinguish that it exists.
When I sat down to drink this, I expected a bigger raspberry taste. Why call it a fruit beer, or a raspberry anything, if it's difficult to pick up on that flavor? If you're going to do that, then the beer itself better be worthy without the fruit. Sadly, in this case, the ale doesn't hold up. It's not terrible by any means, it's just very ordinary, very average. Average doesn't cut it, especially considering the thousands upon thousands of offerings that are available. Onto the next one!
Grade: C-
Price paid: $1.50 (12 oz bottle)
