Our Red Ale is brewed with a mix of English and German malts giving the beer a taste of berry and caramel and a deep ruby appearance. Cascade, Bramling Cross, Columbus, Chinook & Northern Brewer gives off an aroma of grapefruit, pine and earthy hop and a medium to high bitterness.

Amber color with a fine tan head. Good lacing. Decent intensity in the aroma with an ok hop profile. Medium body and a soft to average carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Nice hop profile in this one. Made it a bit fresher than a normal amber ale. Also toffee, bready and fruity.

Cask, shared with Finn at the Famous Royal Navy Volunteer. Clear dark amber coloured body. Low off-white head, spotty lacing. Malty aroma, dark dough and caramel. Malt-fruity taste of dark bread, almond, caramel and a piney touch towards the ending. Pleasing. (Bristol 29.04.2017).
