Yes, that odd bitterness that just tastes so blah. I’ve recently tried Shock Top which is a Belgian ale, and it’s quite good. Beer is pretty filling; after just one, I’m done. Wine is more my thing so this raspberry brew that you’re talking about sounds interesting.
(Before we were of age) three of us used to split a bottle of applejack for $1.50 (Canadian), get roaring drunk and sing Yellow Submarine all the way home.
