Nov. 2015: Shared 330 ml bottle at local tasting. Clear dark cognac colour, off-white head. Nice malty aroma, some caramel, a little fruit. Malty flavour too, but not too sweet. Nicely balanced, despite the hops being very moderate. Easy drinking. Maybe not a real masterpiece, but certainly a beer I could drink again.

De color rojizo, con cuerpo y carbonatación media; con un dedo de espuma de poca retención. Aroma a malta y caramelo. En boca es ligeramente dulce y agradable para beber.

BOTTLE from Alcampo in Barcelona. 33cl. Brown glass. Red foil covers a pry-off crown cap. Cost was ~2 euro.
6.10% ABV.
A: Off-white head. ~10 second retention. No lacing.
Body is a dark auburn-brown. Nontransparent. Translucent. No yeast particulate or hop sediment is visible within.
Sm: Amber malts. Toasted malts. Caramel. Bread crust. Saccharomyces ale yeast. On the sweeter side, but a hint of faint herbal hop character coupled with the aforementioned toastiness balances it out.
Aromatic intensity is average.
T: Matches the aroma. Balanced, but shallow. It's a simple red ale, and I dig the Smithwick's redolent toasted amber malt base. I quite like it for what it is, but more subtlety and intricacy of flavour would be nice.
Mf: Slightly dry and coarse, which is apt for the style and helps accentuate the toastiness. Medium-bodied. Well-carbonated.
Not oily, gushed, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough, or scratchy.
O: Highly drinkable; I wouldn't mind a 4 pack of this in a night. It's an enjoyable no-frills red ale that will please fans of the style but will fail to impress. I've had better supermarket beers in Spain, but this is worth trying once. I do wish the price was more reasonable.

31 Agosto 2015. From Carrefour. In Duvel glass. Watching Breaking Bad 3x01. My first approach to this style, and althougj I started not being sure if I like it or not, I think that in the end Ive liked it. Avg 3.83.
25 Enero 2019. De Hipercor. En copa Teku. Nueva etiqueta. En almuerzo, tras partido de futbito en pabellon de Valencina (empate) Con espinacas con garbanzos + chocos fritos. Grata sorpresa de la Sagra, mucho mas expresiva que lo habitual en ellos, con notas de malta roja bastante intensas y agradables y buen feel. Avg 4
5 Julio 2020. Nueva etiqueta. Renombrada como Criolla. En copa Teku. En almuerzo, con pulpo con papas. Mismas impresiones que antes, de lo mejor de Sagra, con un buen cuerpo, pleno y con agradable sabor a malta roja. Avg 4

330ml sealed tap bottle. Shaker glass. Reddish copper color, crystal clear appearance. Inviting & close crown, yellowish in color. Strawberries, berries, ripe peach, honey & caramel malts to the nose with subtle chocolate notes. Sweet toasted maltiness & herbal hues at first sip. Light body. Moderate carbonation. Dense texture. Slight bitterness, tea-like flavors with chocolate hints in the middle linger into a sweet/bitter finish. Chocolate comes back on the aftertaste. Smooth drinkability & ABV well hidden. Nice spot of the Irish Red Style.
