Had this on tap at meat and then from cans after that (a good sign).
This beer looks red in colour, of course, and the head is asymmetrical and retains well.
Smell is like bready malt with earthy tones and hops.
The taste and feel are where this beer shines. The taste is very good. A nice mix of good malt with hops makes for a decently complex taste and a really nice finish. It's crisp and pleasant with a nice mouthfeel and perfect amount of carbonation.
Overall, Sea Change did a really good job with this beer and it has become my go to from that brewery. It's fantastic on tap, super drinkable, and I'd recommend anyone who likes reds try this.

650ml bottle - not sure if this one was also made at Yellowhead or not.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, dark auburn brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly tan head, which leaves some random streaky and splotchy lace around the glass as it slowly but surely dissipates.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some prominent oily nuttiness, subtle black stone fruity notes, a hint of wet ashiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, overripe apples and pears, generic bar-top nuts, a bit of dusty earthiness, faint yeast, and more understated leafy, herbal, and grassy green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of trouble at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt still asserting its pride against the wan lingering hops.
Overall - this comes across as a competently rendered version of the old-school style, nice and malty and nutty, with just enough bittering offset. Worth checking out, even if it is a bit past St. Patrick's Day, which doesn't really mean anything, I know.
