650ml bottle - another Rabbie Burns inspired offering. If only this brewery was as inspired as he was.

This beer pours a clear, medium magenta colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy pale pink head, which leaves some random coral reef pattern lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, faint tart raspberry flesh, some musty yeastiness, and very plain earthy, weedy, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a mixed dark berry fruitiness, estery yeast, and more weak leafy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-buoying frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, I suppose, with nothing really getting in the way of an adequate time here. It finishes trending dry, the bland malt essence predominating.

Overall - yeah, this wan brewing concern continues to fail to satisfy, let alone amaze in the flavour department. The 'raspberry' is barely perceivable, and the rest of this beer just bores the hell out of me. Maybe focus less on dead Scottish poets, and more on making a better god-damned product, is my oh-so-sage advice.
