Red Puffs
Angry Chair Brewing

From a 16oz can, undated. Turned over and over and gently agitated for a minute or so and then served in a cervoise.

Pours a thick-appearing sludgy purplish bruise of a colour with a scant half-finger of fizzy head. No retention or lacing to speak of, just a thin, fizzy collar. Does not look remotely like beer. Looks like some kind of fruit punch or maybe a Chinese restaurant cocktail. Needs a maraschino cherry and a plastic sword.

Nose is fruity, jammy. Aroma of red Hi-C.

Taste is like a pastry filling: fruity, sweet and sour. Tasting sweet, jammy raspberry and marshmallow peeps. And that’s pretty much that.

Feel is clean and juicy, medium-bright bodied and much lighter and more refreshing than it appeared that it would be when pouring out of the can. There’s enough tartness to make my mouth clench briefly.

Overall, I really dig these Puffs. I’ve had Yellow and Blue previously so this is my 3rd. I’m done with whining about how these aren’t really ‘beers.’ Of course they’re not. Whatever they are, they’re tasty as fuck.

Love this sour. So sweet and tasty.

 

 

 

 

Extremely muddled pastel red, like a total smoothie with a fluffy white collar.

This has a softer, toastier and more marshmallow-forward flavor than the Yellow and Purple Puffs. My goodness it's really all the PEEPS, as some seedy, very mildly tart raspberry accent in the background. This one's the true pastry sour, much moreso than the other two.

 

 

Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2018, Red Session. Neon pink color. Aroma has sweet and grainy fruit cereal notes. Taste is tart, fruity, refreshing, dry and well balanced between sweet and sour.

 

Very red beer with a white head on top. Can smell very sweet raspberries. Taste is very tart, sour raspberries with some sweetness due to the marshmallows. Easy to go down.
