An Amber coloured beer with plenty of character, bursting with hoppiness

[Bottled conditioned] This beer was rather skunky even though it was within the best before date. The color is red and it has a fine beige head, though disappearing. The aroma was sour. The flavor was of caramel and sourness before a slightly bitter end. I hope my version was bad.
