Clear dark copper body, tiny foam, smells of coriander and chili paste and ginger on the nose. Flavour is a lot of varied spices - more ginger, dried chilis, beef soup stock. Dry mouthfeel from all the saltiness. I can't pick out a grain and I can't pick out the beeriness in this and overall I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except those who like sucking on spice racks.

Okay yellow body, head doesn't stick around long enough. Aroma is rather nonpresent, a bit of grain but not much. Flavour is plenty okay lager stuff - soft hops, some grains. Full finish. Adequate lager though nothing interesting to taste here.

Good dark brown body, nice foam. Flavour was soft honey with very meaty malt profile and plenty of hops. Full finish. Flavourful and decent, though the honey barely makes an appearance.

Nice brownish red body and good foam. Nice aroma of malt and raspberry sweetness but not too sweet. Flavour is a nice balance between chocolatet malt and sweet raspberry notes. A little thin on the mouth. Probably a crowd pleaser but not a world beater.

Blackish dark brown body and small foam. Round motor oil smell, nail polish, vague barley. Flavour is smoky notes on a sweet barley body. Mouthfeelis just too watery for this style which by definition is thick. Some okay elements but ultimately kind of a letdown.

Medium clear copper and a little bit of foam, soft hops and a bit of malt that's leaning ever so slightly toward detergent. Flavour is weak caramel with some hop notes. Medium on the mouth, vague oiliness. Highly average but at least it fits the bill.

Sweet crisp raspberry on the nose, good freshness. Nice copper body and okay head. Flavour is an okay balance of sugary raspberry and malt. Crisp mouthfeel. Okay, a little artificial, but workable.

Okay brown body and little head, soft caramel brown sugar aroma like all their other beers. Flavour, if you can call it that, is more brown sugar. Mouthfeel is tepid. A red ale in name only, this is lacking in every category.

Weak ruby-brown body and no foam, poured too high. Smells like someone dumped their nail polish remover into a jar of soya sauce. Flavour is artificial smoke and brown sugar. Mouthfeel is the most tepid liquid I have ever encountered - literally brown bath water. Imagine drinking that and you got a good idea of this stuff.

Darker brown body, semi-clear, little foam. Soft burnt barley aroma. Flavour is wet roasted brown sugar. Full enough on the mouth. This is just bad, nothing about the style comes through.
