266. BrewDog (Columbus, OH) - Pulp Patriot Raspberry

“This powerhouse of a double milkshake IPA is straight up raspberry. Delivering intense raspberry aromas and gigantic jammy flavor upfront. Tail-gated by citrus notes that balance out the sweetness. Milk sugar adds body and rounds out the chewy delivery.”

Yeah, that’s good and jammy up front, all right; and it would be cloyingly sweet if not for the big alcohol (9.5%, a Pulp Patriot trademark, methinks) on the back end. When I tried the blueberry version of this one, I said that the flavor was not as strong as the aroma. The opposite seems to be the case here—not much in the way of aroma, but lots of flavor. I feel like I like this one more than I have liked the other versions of Pulp Patriot, but that might be just be because I was having sort of a meh day when I poured it.
