A hoppy red ale, a smash up between zesty, piney hops and sweet caramel malts. Big Hop Red is late and dry hopped with lots of American aroma varieties; Cascade, Chinook and Equinox as well as Citra and Magnum. The hops offer pine and resin on the nose with lots of fruity citrus, pine and resin in the flavour which is finely balanced by caramel and biscuit malt notes.

Canned. Hazy amber colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some nutty and mild salty tones along with wood and some bready tones. Flavour is quite bready, crisp maltiness with some floral, herbal and mild earthy tones. Very nice sweetish aftertaste.

Pours an clear orange-brown with a frothy off-white head and resinous pine and citrus hops on the nose, and a hint of toffee sweetness. Light to medium bodied, moderately carbonated, with orange and toffee flavours combining with piney hops to yield soft, dry bitterness and an underlying malt sweetness

Thin beige head left a still reddish brown body. Huge fruity aroma with raspberry & confectionery. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a tickle down the throat. Red berries, herbal, spiced, floral & lightly hopped tastes. Tasty one

[33cl can from Beer52.] A reddish amber pour with a thin cream coloured head; sweet malty aroma with a background of English hops; strong hoppy taste with a chewy malt body. Assertive hops and malts, very drinkable.

330ml can at the School of Animals, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy reddish amber with a bubbly, short-lived, off-white head. The aroma is grainy malt, treacle toffee and woody hops. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a rich, malty, sweet burnt treacle, biscuit dough, light pepper spice, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
