33cl can: BB Drank at home on 27th January 2024. Maroon body, off-white head. Malty with a Rye like feel to both the aroma and sweet taste. Would have liked a bit more alcohol and depth to the body, but this is still a very pleasant Red Ale in my eyes.

330 ml can, from KWM Wines & Spirits. ABV is 4.2%. Deep reddish brown colour, moderate to small off-white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, nuts and slightly burnt toast. The flavour has the same elements, but is not too sweet, and is quite drinkable - just not very interesting.

330ml can [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Slightly cloudy, dark amber to brown colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, modeately lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Minimally bready, toasty, nuttily, malty and slightly fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of yellow and green apple, some caramel. Taste is minimally earthy, leafy and slightly fruity, mildly bitter hoppy, minimally bready, toasty malty, hints of green apple, metallic overtones; bready malty finish. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Rather earthy, nevertheless fairly refreshing - OK.
