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.

Craft Tottenham Court Road. Keg. Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent carbonation. Light and mildly sweet malts. Modest hop skunk. A bitter and slightly savoury floral vibe. Trace of toffee before the light semi dry finish. Interesting but doesnโt really lift off.

Keg at CBC SG - London. Pours mostly clear reddish-brown with a creamy tan head. The nose holds toasted grains and pine, earth, damp wood. Light sweet flavor with a dominant bitter, woodsy character to it, some leaves, orange peel, earth, burnt grains, leathery berries. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Strong earthy, dirty bitterness to finish, more toasted grain, some husk, wood, old and musty berries. The beer is a little bit unfocused and the bitterness is out of balance, especially in the aftertaste. Otherwise, itโs OK.
