500ml Bottle conditioned: best before Sep 2013, one of only 1000, poured carefully into a Uk pint sleeve on 26 Nov 2012.
As the name suggests, this is a red brew: the weak, thin head being white and wispy.
The smell is yeasty, dark berries and slightly sour.
Taste wise it follows the aromas: might be a bit green (as in young) because it doesn't sit right in the mouth and is a bit sour for a UK brew. Those dark berries give it a real fruity feel, yet the sourness doesn't go away and the promised hoppy finish struggles to break through, it is there, but not as pronounced as promised on the labelling.
Different and interesting: not really my cup of tea, but glad I've had one (it'll only be the one).
