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.

650ml bottle. Clear, ruby red colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Piney, slightly resinous hoppy aroma and... yes, that’s it, piney hoppy aroma - maybe a nuttily touch. Taste is piney hoppy, minimally resinous, notes of candied orange zest, slightly nuttily undertones; smooth, soft, silky palate. Simple and straight to the point - naturally with the well known, inspiring Alesmith cleanliness.

Light brown colour with good head retention. Strong hoppy aroma, quite earthy and piney. There’s some caramel sweetness in the flavour to balance the strong hop flavour.
