Bottle at the brewery. Med-thin body, med-high carbonation. Med-light sweetness, light bitterness. Feels quite old, fine banana and clove are mostly gone, I get mainly overripe red apple, general esters, a bit of oxidation. Overall average.

Bottle. Thin body, med-high carbonation. Reddish amber colour. Med-high bitterness. Mostly hoppy, but a rather plain grassy, earthy hops character, a bit herbal, kinda boring. Also light caramelly and a hint of roasty maltiness, which feels out of place. Overall not exactly the best of the style, rather a generic red ale. While not bad, I am not a fan.
