These guys have never really impressed me with what they make. There is a sameness and ordinariness across the board in their brews. Basic macro type stuff often with some gimmick applied.
Same deal here. Pale pink pour, short lived head. Raspberry on the nose gets me all excited for a bit coz I love the fruity stuff and raspberry is one of my faves. Some raspberry to taste, but the ordinariness of the base ale comes through pretty clear. Just another of the same from this brewery.

Clear pinkish-red with a modest head. Nose is sweetish cereal and raspberries. Light mild body, little depth and flavour. A basic flavoured ale.

Granville Island False Creek Raspberry Ale from Granville Island Brewery from Vancouver. Bought it in a 12 summer m ix pack for 14,99$ here in Montreal:
Look: Yellow/pink. No head at all.
Smell: Raspberry, hops and some cereal.
Taste: Sweet raspberry ale, hops, some grassy notes. Nothing to spectacular.
Feels. Sweet and watery with a notes of raspberry at the end. Light body. Easy drinking. Goes down very well.
So overall would I recommend it? Yes and no. For the yes, this is a nice beer in general, for summer it will be a nice beer but as a Fruit/Vegetable/Raspberry its not that impressive. There is much better Raspberry Ale beer out there.
