Brewed in collaboration with Bomber Brewing.
Appearance - Pours a copper with a finger of bubbly white head.
Smell - piney hops, caramalts, grapefruit peel, hints of tropical fruit.
Taste - American red side. Piney hops, bready caramalts, hints of citrus and tropical fruits.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. Dry finish.
Overall - Decent offering on the balanced side with malts and hops. More hops would showcase this style a little more.

Not the most memorable beer in the Brews Brothers pack, but it is certainly an interesting effort. The malt is nicely balanced with the hops and lower alcohol. This is a pleasant brew, for sure.

Great ISA, with a decent malt backbone so it's not like bong water. West coast bitter?

341ml bottle, part of the Brews Brothers mixed pack (with Bomber Brewing), the name another ode to Howlin' Wolf's blues-era oeuvre.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with two skinny fingers of puffy, somewhat rocky, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some low-lying bonsai tree lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of dank pine needles, grainy caramel malt, mixed watery citrus (maybe some navel orange and/or white grapefruit), a further muddled tropical fruitiness, and some plain floral and earthy bitterness. The taste is gritty, grainy caramel malt, a sodden dark breadiness, some forest floor pine astringency that has thankfully shed the dank factor, weakened generic citrus, a subtle flintiness, and the same trailing leafy, floral notes from the nose.
The carbonation is adequate in its generally supportive frothiness, the body medium-light in weight, and mostly smooth, neither hop nor alcohol (heh) capable of making a fuss here. It finishes off-dry, the crackery caramel malt persisting well, while the kind of complicated hops try their darnedest to remain relevant.
Overall, this additional mixing/downgrading of styles seems to work out - the loss in alcohol via the 'session ale' route is offset by the upswing in both malt and hop complexity. Nothing to write invective missives home about, but a pleasant enough tipple on this burgeoning Spring day.

Overall a rather unremarkable session ale. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly right about it either. Sets the bar for average.

Little Red Rooster Red India Session Ale - A Parallel 49 Brewing Company and Bomber Brewing Collaboration as part of the Brews Brothers mixed pack - This poured a nice reddish copper colour with a thin white head that had quite a bit of retention. The nose brought forward some nice citrus hop notes, caramel and malt. The citrus takes a step back on the taste with a more floral/herbal hoppiness that lingers through a nice bitterness that is balanced out by some sweet maltiness. The mouthfeel is a bit heavier than I was expecting from a session ale but it nicely finishes the beer. A tasty start to a exciting collaboration pack.
