1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store. This one is a session red ale, and is once again named after a historical military account - though why they picked a battle from the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 is anybody's guess.
This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick amber colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, and mostly just broadly bubbly beige head, which leaves a band of defrosting back windshield lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, generic toffee, a mild earthy nuttiness, some subtle wispy smokiness, and very tame leafy, weedy, and dead floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, gently biscuity toffee squares, a muddled pome and citrus fruitiness, some ethereal stoney flintiness, and more well understated earthy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite laid-back in its basically anemic frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess seeping in once things warm up a tad around here. It finishes on the sweet and malty side, but not terribly so.
Overall, this is an approachable and easy-drinking red ale, one definitely geared towards those imbibers possessing a sweet tooth, but without being too sugary for the rest of us. At any rate, I got an obscure history lesson, and I have another pint of a nice offset to drink with my imminent homemade, and spicy-ass Kung Pao Chicken!
