Here at the Brewery in Cortez, after spending the day in Mesa Verde. Never heard of this place but I decided to give it a go after passing by since I avoid chains like the plague when I travel. Nothing they had on tap was rated this high and it’s easy to see why, as this was an enjoyable brew that was fitting for a late summer’s night that was perfect outside!
Honey in hue, there was some of that in the nose to go along with the raspberry, cereal, grain, and wheat. The head was lovely for settling so fast as the lacing left behind was quite sparse after a hint of a wavy ring near the top. The taste was nicely balanced between berry, wheat, and malt as this had plenty of body and bite to it. More importantly, it was not like other beers of this type that I’ve reviewed on here as it wasn’t thin or syrupy in nature.
Enough carbonation was present as the aftertaste was lively, tart, and had plenty of potato chip underneath everything. With just the right amount of alcohol present, this was a lovely beer to end my day with!

Appearance: Darker than many fruit/wheat beers. Amber-golden in color.
Smell: Definitely raspberries initially and honey in the finish. Would like it a bit stronger.
Taste: Excellent sweet/bitter/sour balance of honey and raspberries. Nothing overwhelms. Very crisp mouthfeel. Extremely refreshing.
Drinkability: Excellent after a long day.
Overall: A very good beer.

Clear golden with lots of carbonation. Creamy white head, good retention and sticky lace. Grainy aroma with a hint of raspberry. Noticeable acidity front and middle. Raspberry favor doesn't show until middle to end, where the acidity starts to fade and a more grainy taste ensues. Mild hops on the back and after the finish. Light body, lively carbonation. At first, the acidity was odd, but worked well as the beer progressed, particularly once the berries showed up. More going on than the typical fruit beer. Worth a try if you can find it.
