Cheeto was nice enough to send me some beers for review. As usual, I'm slacking but I'll be using this thread to review them.
Raspberry Ale
4 lbs pale LME
0.5 oz Liberty hops 30 minutes
0.5 oz Liberty hops at flameout
In secondary;
4.0 oz Raspberry extract
4.0 oz lactose
Has quite an aroma of raspberries even as it's poured. Fizzy, but no head at all once the beer was done being poured. There's very little hop character, but is still present. Detectable hop flavor offsets the strong raspberry flavor nicely. Definitely something the ladies would like, a very typical fruit beer.
Constructive Criticism/suggestions; next time try adding the raspberries right into the primary, or leave out the milk sugar entirely.
