Blurred lines here between red and traditional ale, hence the name, most familiarly associated with Samuel Smith. Hoppy, red ale aroma and taste to an extent, more a traditional ale texture. It's all very culturally a British ale in design.

"The New Driving Force From Austin" was the advertising tagline for this car in the UK. Interesting bittered orange fruit might be a new tagline for this ale. Has a very malty underbase. Fruitiest in nose, but good in taste too.

The red of Manchester narrowly defeated Burnley earlier. This red made in Manchester is traditional over flavour, with a lightly sweetened malt-hop balance in a mild red ale style.

My parents never had a Carrera back in the day, but their Austin Metro was a cracking runaround at the time. As cask lager goes this is a lovely textured one with a fine hoppy taste.

Cask at Mount Inn, Chester. Right, lets get one thing straight from the start. This is a Light Mild not a dark Mild (implied by CAMRA) or a “chestnut ale” or “amber ale” (described by brewery) or even a “bitter / ordinary” as previously recorded by Brewver. Anyway, it pours golden yellow with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and summer fruits in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but with a touch of bitterness too. Flavour is malts and marmalade with hints of barley sugar and berry fruits coming later leading to a fruity finish. This is decent.

Moved on from Altrincham to Ashton-on-Mersey for another Mild Magic challenge pub but yet another with no mild. Not a bad ruby ale.

My parents owned a 'Maxi' about the time the Capri was prominent. Session hopped ale, decent but nowhere near decadent.

Half-pint, cask ale at Abel Heywood. Steady off-white head, clear ruby-black in the glass, scattered lacing. Lightly roasted malty aromas, hints of dried fruits. Moments of chocolate malts, bread, and dried fruits to the taste profile. Carefully roasted finish. Easy to drink. Nice, a bit diluted though. (Manchester, 01.05.2025).

Half-pint, well kept cask ale at Abel Heywood. Clear golden body with a white head leaving spotty lacing on the glassware. Fresh smell of citrus and grassy hops. Impacts of citrus and peaches to the taste character followed by a backdrop of leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Fits the season. Good drinking outside the pub in sunny weather (Manchester, 01.05.2025).

Again, weak and bland. They cheaped out on the ingredients methinks. Barely any hop taste or bitterness
