Our Red Feather is a robust auburn ale. Plenty of crystal malt gives this beer a rich colour and combination of bold walnut and bitter-sweet caramel flavours.

Handpull cask at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. Dark reddish/brown and clear with a tight beige head. Light malty smell. Taste is sweet at first followed by a well-rounded bitterness. Some toffee/caramel flavours but doesn't dominate. Clean finish, a little grassy, with soft carbonation. Fairly standard bitter but a good one.

Creamy off white head on a dark amber coloured body. Faint aroma of malt & hops. Medium bodied, smooth& creamy thinning out to a clean back. Malt, berry, nutty & caramel tastes with a fruity finish.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Has an indistinct aroma of malts and caramel. Pours a rich reddish brown with a msall cream head and good lacing. In the mouth the texture is creamy and the taste has fruitcake, bread crusts and malts on a base of caramel. A bit of bitterness in the finish is the first (only) hint of hops. Overall tastewise it punches above its strength. I rather like this, but I would say it’s more of an Irish red ale than a traditional bitter.

Cask @ Dirty Dicks, Halifax. Dark clear red with a thick creamy head. Has a light berry-sweetness, a bitterness and a sessionable character.
