Raspberry Cream Doughnut Pale
So, you like your sweet treats but don’t want to be seen as the stereotypical doughnut munching cop procrastinating the day away, rather than catching the bad guys. This beer is brewed using aromatic biscuit malt, lactose and raspberry concentrate to ensure you’re seen as a good cop …not a bad cop.

Can from Morrisons, Sheldon, Birmingham. Pours a cloudy amber with small white head, some retention. Aroma of raspberry jam doughnuts as prescribed, sweet, lactose. Taste of jammy dodger biscuits, dough, sweet, slight tangy jam, lactose, light dryness and bitterness in the finish gives it some balance. Medium bodied, smooth, fine to zingy carbonation that works well. Its a nice novelty beer although personally I would rather they upped the hops to give it an extra dimension and made it a milkshake IPA.

440ml can: BB 15th August 2022. Drank at home on 19th May 2022. Poured into a vase shaped UK pint glass. Misty orange/golden body, white head. Raspberry esters hit the nose first, in fact they dominate the aromas. Taste is also Raspberries to the fore, vanilla ice cream like flavours turn up, clear off and return again; not too sure about the doughnuts, although they might have arrived as the beer warmed a little. The finish is semi-bitter and dry, all a bit 'strange'. I do prefer my beers to taste like 'beers' but this was almost interesting! Luckily I quite like raspberries.

Hazy amber beer, bready and jammy smell. Flavour has sweet fruit, a little lactose, a bit doughy. Sweet, nicely balanced. Pretty drinkable.

This was my 3000th rate, but due to timing and a complete lapse of memory I completely failed to get anything decent to celebrate. Anyway, this can was from Morrison's. It pours a murky amber with a cream-coloured head. It smells sickly sweet and tastes not like a doughnut, but instead exactly like one of those iced finger buns you get in a bakers shop. You know - the ones with icing that tastes of fake pinkness. Sadly I'm really not a fan of iced finger buns or artificial flavourings.There's some fake raspberry syrup in there too, followed by a lot of creamy vanilla which was the one bit that I did like. It retains very little beer character, but there is just enough there to remind you that pale ales really don't go very well with iced finger buns at all. Fair play to the brewer on getting a pale ale to taste exactly like a cake. However, for me this really didn't work at all, although I did like the growing sweet vanilla creaminess in the finish which was just enough of a positive to keep me drinking to the bottom of the glass. Pretty disappointing for my 3000th though.
