Copenhagen 6/5 2018. 50 cl bottle from Brønshøj Vine, Brønshøj Torv, Brønshøj. Drawing of Scouting Fox on the label.
Pours clear red tinged amber with medium-sized off-white head. Settles as thin creamy layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is sweet and dark. Caramel, light whiff of fermented dark fruit, hints of licorice.
Soft carbonation. Medium thick creamy texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by slightly weaker but notable bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with bitter notes. Light roastiness. Fairly short.
Nice Irish with little bit of a bitter bite.

Shared 500 ml bottle at local tasting. Orange to reddish colour, slightly off-white head. Malty aroma and flavour with some toffee and caramel notes, hints of earthy hops.

Review: 500ml Bottle of The Foxes Rock Red Ale: 4.5% vol. Style: Irish Red Ale
On appearance we get a very darkish red colour as you would expect, with a small frothy white head, looks ok.
Some small carbonation going on, and some good lacing. Looks decent enough, even if it goes a bit cloudy in the end.
The aroma is lovely, Smell is tinty and piercing, and smelling the fruits and sweet malts,
It has a nice light lager smell.
Tastes like a full bodied ale, as it should be really.
Another slow burner, very hoppy.
For a red ale this could and should be better. Also a good bit hoppy, like the Pale Ale and not a whole lot different in the taste if truth be told.
On second bottle, the tastes start to become clearer, get a half decent initial taste that is ok, a nice big mouthful of malt and fruits. But is just a little too hoppy and bitter for me.
Is tasty but nothing overall to back it up and let it linger in the mouth.
Another disappointment.
