Released shortly before Valentine’s Day, My Bloody Valentine is the red-blooded cousin of our Halloween specialty ale, Evil Dead Red.
Caramel-sweet malt is delicately balanced with floral American hop varieties for a truly unique drinking sensation. A deep mahogany red color and a big, aromatic hop profile are the signatures of this seasonal ale.

An elaboration of Evil Dead, with thick and frothy, dense, pale beige, thickly lacing head and deep hazy burgundy red colour. Strong and appealing aroma of blood orange, dried grapefruit peel, ’haemoglobin’ iron, walnuts, hazelnut oil, pink pepper, dried leaves, toasted brown bread, dried banana. Dried fruits in the onset, soft sour berry and passion fruit accent, some dry banana, medium carbo, very nutty maltiness with bitter toasted aftertaste nicely paired with a long, spicy, citrusy, drying hop bitterness, a tad piney and dry citrus peel-like retronasally. Another delicious and appetizing AleSmith.

Very dark red with a beige head. Aroma is malty caramel, floral and fruity hop, toast. Full bodied and rather smooth. Flavor follows the aroma with a bit of chocolate malt. Real nice balance of malt and hop in this amber. Meaty and delicious.
