'Art thou the bird whom man loves best, the pious bird with the scarlet breast'- William Wordsworth.
Brewed with two English whole cone hops and natural coloured malt giving a chestnut red hue to the beer. Redbreast drinks with a full flavour and a warming glow.

Pours a reddish copper colour with an off-white head; the aroma reminds me of toffee apples; the taste is dominated by roasted malt with a metallic bitter aftertaste.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of berries, toffee, malt, and spices - especially cardamom comes thru. But the body is thin.

500ml bottle from Morrison’s. Brown/chestnut colour with thin beige head. Good malt hop aroma. The hops in fact are really quite intense. Red/black fruits in the mix there with some toffee as well. Touch of yeast too. Good nose, not too hot in the middle and then this aggressive hop finish. Fine. Would probably have the cask version if I saw it.
