Our Tastes-- Sea Dog Raspberry

Trying to clear out brews that Merry has been sitting on for some time, I pulled one of her Sea Dog Raspberry Wheat Ale. Made by Pugsley Brewing Company in Portland, Maine, this brew pours a wonderfully cloudy slightly red tinged straw. The aroma is a nice crisp raspberry (reminds me of the summer I worked in Clanton at the berry picking farm, damn I hated wearing long sleeves in the summer but I liked having arms left over at the end of the day). Head is flat and unremarkable. Even though this beer may be past it’s prime date, it still has a stupendous mouthfeel and flavor profile. Makes me want some buttermilk biscuits to go with a jam taste in my mouth.
