Can, it's actually called just Red Ale, but it also has 5.5% ABV so I'm assuming it's this. Pours a deep amber, almost brown body and a dense light beige head with a little bit retention. Aroma's: caramel malts, fruit. Retronasal it follows this, with some rye bread. Flavour is light bittersweet, toast, fruit. Light medium bodied. Finishes light moderate bitter.

350ml into glass. Copper/red beer with crema on top. Nose of malt and a little pepper. Good body, smooth texture. Toffee and malt dominate, finish is clean and bitter. Very nice red Ale.

Can 35 cl. Pours a clear, dark, reddish amber with a frothy, beige head. Slightly citrusy notes atop some burned caramel. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Biscuity, toffee and burned caramel but never excessively sweet. Sufficiently balancing hops. Perfect example of the style. 040922

Dark copper colour, small off white head. Aroma is twiggy, resin hops, bit of plastic. Taste is ok, but not much there. Bit of spiky maltiness, slight spiciness. Not much hop. Bit of a prickle. Not that exciting. Slight cherry and citrus fruitiness.

Can sample at Beer & Beyond. Clear amber, off-white head. Piney hops, citric, floral, malt, caramel, sweet, biscuity, a bit of minerals, mild bitter finish, medium-bodied. Pretty nice and easy-drinking.
