A 500ml bottle with a BB of May 2018. Purchased a little while back from B&M. The label describes it as a sessionable red ale.
A: Poured into a tulip pint glass. A deep reddish hue with good clarity and plentiful carbonation. Forms a large head of frothy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before reducing to a patchy surface layer.
S: Aroma of ale yeast with hints of caramel malt, mild roasted grain, fruity yeast esters, light grassiness, subtle herbal hops, vague stewed leaves and a twinge of cardboard in the background. OK though the yeast is quite pronounced.
T: Tastes of caramel malt with notes of subtle roasted grain, aromatic hops, mild grass/herbal hints, stewed leaves, ale yeast esters, faint fruitiness and a lingering earthiness in the background. The yeast is quite distinct. A robust, hop-driven bitterness upon swallowing; verging on harsh.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with spritzy carbonation and decent body for the strength. Aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops, roasted malt, faint caramel and ale yeast.
O: A pretty decent ale - arguably the best I've yet had from Ringwood. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are a reasonable blend of ale yeast, caramel malt and bitter aromatic hops. Body is OK. The hopping is nice though the aromatic character is somewhat indistinct. As ever, the Ringwood yeast is decidedly prominent and a touch muddled. Goes down readily enough, though no need to hunt it down.

Pours a rusty red body with decent enough tan head
,slight red liquorice aroma with notes of barley and gravy browning
Roasted barley flavour that lends to a solid mouthfeel and solid bitter finish

Cask drawn. Clear auburn with a thick tight head.
Fresh hop aroma. Toffee malt discernable.
Initial sweetness is interrupted by the hop to provide a bitter finish. Malt balances this nicely.
Feel is smooth and drinkable.
I really liked this one after a decent work out in the gym.
