330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Mahogany-brown colour with small off-white head, nice consistency. Aroma of strong caramel malts and fruity berries with a sweetness but depth which suggests this will be good. Taste has a bitter roastiness then pine and fruity berry hops emerge. Moderate body, nice sticky fruity resin on the palate. Very good.

Rocky beige head on murky reddish brown body. Berries, malt & blackcurrant aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a lively cloying back. Malt, berries, blackcurrant, herbal & pine tastes with a bitter pithy finish. That's a great Red Ale.

Felt like a beer with dinner kind of day. And a good one to choose.

Draught at the brewery. Browny red/dark amber colour with off-white head. Aroma spicy and roasted, but like Hojicha, red roasted tea. Also quite hoppy bitterness, pine, resinous, b.o. Very prickly in the mouth and a very bitter finish.

Bought @ Toko Dun Yong, A'dam - 95 cents only, due to it being a little past the BB date. Pours a deep red colour - darker than amber I would say. Firm rocky beige head with good retention. Aroma's of caramel malt, some hops and a bit of red fruit. Retronasal follows this, perhaps some bitterness as well. Flavour is light moderate bitter with light caramel malty sweetness. Normal body, not too thin. Finishes with moderate bitterness. Still very pleasant and well drinkable despite its age.

Bottle (Mr Mama). Deep clear amber with a lasting pale beige head. Aroma of bread, singed toffee, grapefruit, pine. Creamy. Almost burnt toffee.The malt is not overwhelmed by resin but it's getting towards that. Brief finish with modest bitterness. Pretty good, not quite my sort of thing.
