This fruited pale ale carries a strong 4.0 out of 5 rating on Untappd across nearly 2,000 reviews, reflecting consistent enthusiasm from the craft beer community.Quick Facts: ABV: 5.75%  |  Origin: Chicago, Illinois  |  Style: American Pale Ale with Real Raspberry  |  Brewery: Hop Butcher for The WorldProduction & HeritageHop Butcher for The World operates out of Chicago and Bedford Park, Illinois, and has built a reputation for rotating, haze-forward hop-driven releases that rarely stick around long. New Oklahoma is brewed with real raspberry — not extract or artificial flavoring — layered over a base hopped with Mosaic and Belma, two varieties known for their complementary tropical-fruit and melon character. As a limited-availability offering rather than a year-round staple, each batch tends to move quickly off shelves.Tasting NotesAroma: Dank, berry-forward hop character leads, followed by bright raspberry and citrus zest. Subtle floral and fresh-cut grass notes emerge as the beer warms slightly in the glass.Taste: Juicy raspberry hits immediately on the entry, ripe and authentic rather than candy-like. The mid-palate broadens into citrus and tropical hop flavors — think tangerine peel and soft melon — before a gentle pine undertone anchors the back end. The 5.75% ABV keeps everything light and drinkable without sacrificing hop intensity.Finish: Crisp and clean, with balanced hop bitterness that dries the palate just enough to invite the next sip. Lingering raspberry and a whisper of resinous pine fade gradually.How to Drink New OklahomaPour into a tulip glass or standard pint at around 40–45°F to let the raspberry aromatics open up fully; drinking straight from the can will mute many of the subtler hop nuances. New Oklahoma works well in these cocktail-adjacent beer applications:
Raspberry Radler: Blend with fresh lemonade for a low-ABV warm-weather sipper where the real raspberry amplifies the citrus base.
Hop Shandy: Mix equal parts New Oklahoma and ginger beer — the Belma hop melon notes play well against ginger spice.
Beer Mimosa: Combine with a splash of orange juice at brunch; the pale ale body holds up better than a lager in this format.
