From the bargain bucket at Marshall's farm shop, Aberdeenshire. Bit of a gusher on the opening. It pours hazy darkest red with a big, bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet, sappy, oily, toffee, caramel, red fruits, jam rolly polly, victoria sponge cake, pine needles and resin. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet, sappy, resinous, pine needles, juicy, jammy red fruits, jam rolly polly, pithy, zesty, blood orange, toffee/caramel, brown bread and a nip of boozey warmth with a drying finish. Medium+ body and average carbonation. A decent hearty red ale.

Can from Appellation Wines. Pours clear red-brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of malt loaf, brown bread, red fruit. Taste is jammy, nutty, more malt loaf. Chewy and gnarly finish.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy amber body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, fig and stewed tea. Flavour of pine, caramel and a slightly boozy finish. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Soft fizz. It’s great to see lots of hoppy red beers on the market lately. This is a cracker - sweet and hoppy. 71 Brewing keep getting better and better, and this is one of their finest beers to date.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep red to brown. Foamy off white head. Nose - chewy toffee, brown bread and lurking red fruits. Taste - spiced fruit loaf, chewy toffee and light raisin. Palate - medium bodied plus, with a chewy texture. Overall - not sure it's a red ale, more of an Old Ale or Strong Ale.
