Named after the motto of House Targaryen, Fire and Blood is inspired by Daenerys Targaryen and her three dragons, Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion. To celebrate the rebirth of dragons, three different labels were created by the Game of Thrones visual effects specialists, each depicting one of Daenerys' feared dragons. Randomly distributed amongst the cases, each case will contain all three bottles.
Fire and Blood has a deep, dark red hue with a persistent, creamy off-white head. Aromas of ripe fruit, raisins, malt and slight spice, followed by a slightly floral and spicy hop character. A fruity, sweetish malt taste gives way to faint drying provided by the hops and rye. Underlying flavors of raisin and prune from the ancho chilies give way to a balanced malty and spicy finish.
Malt: Pilsner, Cara-60, Midnight Wheat, flaked rye and spelt
Hops: CTZ, Styrian Golding, German Tettnang
Spices: Ancho Chilies
Pair with pastrami, jerk chicken, pulled pork, Mexican cuisine (such as burritos), and sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses.

Sample during at Daily Growler Powell during the "5th Friday $5 Fest" on 04/29/2016. Hazy dark reddish-mahogany color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of red fruit, spice and hops. Medium body with flavors of fruity hops, chili pepper and smoky malt. The finish is hoppy and fruity with a mild chili aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap. Pours a hazy, chestnut brown with a red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Sweet aroma of dark fruit, caramel malt, bread and rye. Sweet flavour of dark fruit, caramel malt, bread, a hint of roast and a dry, spicy, mildly bitter finish. Medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Not bad.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours an opaque dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of spices, earthy bready malt, and light red fruits. Flavour is unusual, with notes of spices, earthy, bubblegum, and an astringent hippiness on the finish. Not sure the flavours are in harmony here. There's a weird spicy herbal quality to this. Not convincing, but certainly not bad.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark amber color, hazy, with compact head. This red ale has a lean and clean caramel profile, rather dry, it could as well be a Bock; the bitterness is moderate; there could be a light smoke touch in the aroma. It has a not of sweetness in the final, a spicy touch, and mild fruity esters.
Balanced, elegant, well made although not the most complex beer.

Draft pour at Special Brews. Pours a dark amber color with a lasting head. For some reason, I always put this series of beers aside, and never tried one. Now I’m starting to wonder why. Solid beer so far. Sweet floral hops aroma. Flavor has some floral hops, a little spice to it, and some rye flavor in the finish. Unique for sure. Very tasty brew. Enjoyed this.
