Finally a can of brew that actually exhibits at least some aspects of a 'red' beer to the eye; just a little mind you. Not sure about why the majority of the beers in this style are not actually 'red' hehehhh. Nose is decent malt. Taste is somewhat mildly uncalled-for bitter, but it does have many of the malty attributes of a decent red ale on the pallet. Goes down fairly easy, but just a shade of some undesired bitterness in the background riding on the malty notes. Yea, its difficult for the domestic brewers to get this old country style correct, in a civilized euro red beer attitude, but this is an above average effort. There, you have it.

Undated can > wine glass A: Poured hard to a 1/4" beige head that fell fast but left lots of lace. Murky dark copper color. S: Light scent of earthy, leafy and spicy hops with toffee underneath. T: Bitter and tart with hints of orange and lemon joined by light roast. Tart fruit lingers along with a little wood. M: Lowish carbonation feels flabby but mostly dry roasty finish. O: A pretty good tasting brew but the low carbonation makes it seem a bit lifeless. Also noticed with other Bombshells, plus these women won't date their shit so points off.
