Day 10 of the advent Calendar.
This is more like it. Character. Maltiness. Nice bitter flavors and funky yeast.
It wasn't as sweet as a normal "red" ale, but it felt more like a Belgian dubbel to me.

Copper red with a light tan head, good retention and lace.
Faint aroma of caramel and a bit of grassy spice.
Flavour has a vague Christmas feel to it, caramel, roasted nut, bit of fruit and spice. Reminiscent of a 90’s craft brew, but amped up a bit like an altbier.
Body I still in the heavier side of moderate.

330ml bottle, day 11 of the 2017 Craft BeerAdvent Calendar. Not too sure what a red ale has to do with two of Santa's reindeer.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with a stupid amount of teeming puffy, finely foamy, and creamy off-white head, which leaves some thick and chunky webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of grainy and biscuity caramel malt, some earthy yeastiness, a bit of stewed apple and underripe citrus fruity esters, and weak leafy, woodsy, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, dead yeast, some generic oily nuttiness, muddled domestic citrus peel, and more understated earthy, herbal, and grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite overwrought in its prickly frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and not particularly smooth with all those bubbles dashing and dancing around my tongue. It finishes trending dry, with the crackery malt and herbal hops joined at the lingering hip, as such.
Overall - this one seems to have suffered, rather than benefited from the bottle conditioning, which doesn't really make sense for the style anyways. Another miss from this increasingly inane and overpriced holiday gift pack, I'm afraid to say.

Pours a nice amber with a very thick, creamy, long lasting head. Smell has a strong bitter hop, slight coppery note with sweet caramel hints in it.
Taste is almost IPAish in bitter piney flavour with a smooth creamy mouthfeel, great carbonation all the way through.
Enjoyable, but to my tastes there are better red/amber ales out there.
