Wild Raspberry Ale
Smokey maroon-amber with a modest sandstone plug. Scented of raspberry bran muffins and nothing else. Starts with a minor graininess that suggests some sort of darker bread, but that quickly becomes an afterthought as a seedy raspberry jelly is smeared all over. That fades too, as this beer disappears even before it leaves the mouth, with just tatters of remaining berries and a general Bartles & James on toast feeling. Light and fizzy. It's neither overly sweet or cloyingly fruity (which are generally good things), it just has virtually no mouthfeel to speak of. If this helps finance Old Ruffian then I'm cool with that. Not so much, otherwise.
