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.

*** Disclaimer this is a deliberated unfair rating, but i feel aggreived so here goes *** Bought this bottle from BottleDog about 2 weeks ago. When i opened the bottle, no hiss of escaping carbonation, look down and part of the lip of the bottle was missing so the cap hadn’t worked. Nasty sharp edge on the top of the bottle, which could caused some damage, not to mention the missing sharp of glass, is that in the beer now? The beer is obviously reunied but ive decided to capture my hatred in a rating. Here goes. A complete lifeless murky dark orange amber with no head. Aroma is tart and spicy cheap vinegar, some granny smith apple and bruised fruit. Meaty brothand fish innards with some sticky sugars on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of Really sharp tangy vinegar,bitter lemon, fish and chips, bitter tingling vinegar at the back of the throat. Palate is sweet and sour and lifeless, slightly burning the throat. Terrible beer. Undrinkable. I hope to get to try an unspoiled sample so that i can amend this 11121 Bottle at home from the rot box. ANot sure where i got this from. A mostly clear amber red coloured pour with a lasting beige cap. Aroma is cola cubes, pine, sticky sugar, some age, nutty malts, Flavour is composed of semi sweet malts, butterscotch, nutty, light age, light tangy, woody notes. Bit meh. Palate is semi sweet, light tang, highish frothy carbonation. 645312 3.0 Not updating my rating, because fuck you.
