A 500ml bottle with a BB of Oct 2014, so it's just out of date. Picked up a little while back from a farm shop in Cambridge. Described as a red ale with a grapefruit hopiness. We shall see....

A: Poured into a tulip pint glass. A rich reddish-amber hue with faint haze and good carbonation. Yields a small head of white foam that lasts for a moment before collapsing to a thin collar.

S: Aroma of grainy malt with hints of caramel, vaguely fruity hops, grass/hay, ale yeast and stewed hops. A tad underwhelming.

T: Tastes of grainy malt with a dry, bitter finish. Notes of caramel malt, husky grain, fruity hops, mild citrus peel, grass/hay, ale yeast, earthiness and stewed hops. Well-attenuated, followed by a lingering bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with soft carbonation and good body. Somewhat astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops, grainy malt and earthiness.

O: A decent red ale but not spectacular. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour mix grainy caramel malt and leafy hop bitterness. Body is OK. Goes down easily enough; worth trying if you stumble across it.
