With a hint of spice from the rye and richness from the red crystal malt, Rhode Island Red is a deeply satisfying ale.

Cask at Harkers Arms, Chester. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head. Quite a mixture in the aroma, malts, autumn fruits and dried apricots. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but with an underlying bitterness. Flavour has malts, traditional hops, nuts and a hint of spices. Berry fruits come in later and are the mainstay of the finish. Not at all bad.

Bottle from the Lancashire Bottle Shop. Pours clear amber with a thin beige head. Aromas of almond and spice, light hop notes. Taste is bitter, pithy, more almond and spice. Dry finish.

Foamy off white head stayed on a well carbonated reddish brown body. Spiced fruit, berry & malt aroma. Medium bodied, tingly with a clean back. Malt, spices, berry, pine & tangy citrus tastes with a long bitter finish. Nice one!

Bottle from Homebrew Bottle Shop, Oxton in Birkenhead. Appearance - deep amber to red with a nice fluffy head. Nose - dried cherry and orange. Light nuts. And some biscuit. Taste - tart red fruit going into orange, possibly cranberry. Nuts at the back again. Palate - medium bodied with a crunchy texture. Dry crunchy finish. Nice taper. Overall - while it's a bit challenging, it's complex and the challenge eventually gives back it's reward.

Cask @ The Excelsior, Liverpool. Copper-red, but more of the former, with a thin head. Quite sweet with berry fruit in its slightly sugary nose, with the same but less stated in its taste.

GBBF. Light haze on this amber beer, little pale tan head. Light dry palate. Okay balance of mild malt and repressed English hops. Dry finish. Competent but dull.
