In 1985, McMenamins became the first brewery in the U.S.A. to legally use fruit in the creation of ales. While many other breweries have followed suit, we still make this Ruby exactly as we first did: Light, crisp and refreshingly fruity. Over 55 pounds of hand-macerated, fresh, whole raspberries are used in every batch. Taste the original! Malts: Pale Malt Hops: Vary Fruit: Whole Raspberries

Trying a sample of this now. No lacing. Pale pink amber color. Nice hints of raspberry over a little bit of hops. Not exactly my style but pretty nice for a fruit beer.

an interesting light fruity beer with some earthy hops and just a touch of tartness. raspberry is the main fruit component, and they do it justice here. pretty standard beers for the most part, but this one was cool.

Very refreshing American fruit ale. Pours a pinkish color and the head sticks around..... Tastes more like grapefruit than raspberry, light fruit as a flavoring, mild wheat, dry, not so sweet.... An interesting sour tone gives the beer its character... somwhere towards pink lemonade maybe. A slick round mouthfeel holds it together... I think if i had this out of a bottle, i wouldnt like it much but its very good on tap and the least boring Mcmenimans beer. In fact if never had anything quite like it

tried at Bagdad theater. another good beer by McMenamins. poured a nice orange red color, with good size light tan head. you can really taste some fruit in here~ like, cranberry, raspberry, grapefruit, and some notes of a green tea latte in the background~ hmmmm?

Light raspberry color. Light bodied wheat ale, infused with a raspberry flavor. Fruit flavor is mild and subtle, very slightly sweet. Malts are mild and slightly hoppy. Interesting taste. Light and refreshing. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

The color is almost like ruby grapefruit juice. Has a nice tart/sweet taste. Different. A good hot weather beer

picked up this in the 22oz bomber on the way home tonight. I have never had the Ruby before so not sure at all of the correct style. The beer has a really nice look to it a slightly hazy ..almost luminescent orangy colour..odd to describe but its impressive..extremely small head which dissapears real quick leaving a slight lace down the glass. The smell of the beer is very fruity..almost raspberry..with some nice malt and only a trace of hop near the end . Its good though. Feels very nice on the tongue good carbonation and not too dry..nice. This is a most drinkable brew indeed..I could easilly quaff many pints of this little beauty on a summers day!
