A 500ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2018. Picked up a little while back from a local off-license. The label describes it as a Yorkshire take on an Irish red ale - brewed with barley, wheat, oats and rye (hence the name).

A: Poured into a pint mug. A deep reddish-marmalade colour with good clarity and plentiful carbonation. Yields a decent head of frothy off-white foam that lasts for a moment before swiftly subsiding to a patchy surface layer.

S: Aroma of grainy malt with hints of caramel, barley sugar, mild rye, ale yeast, faint spice and a vague leafiness. A decent malty character.

T: Tastes of caramel malt with notes of grain, barley sugar, subtle rye, bread, faint spiciness, ale yeast, mild leafiness and a hint of stewed hops. Pretty dry, followed by a modest bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with spritzy carbonation and decent body for the style. Mildly astringent. Aftertaste of caramel malt, grain, faint rye, ale yeast and leafy hops.

O: A pleasant ale, though I'm not sure how true to the style it is. Looks OKish; head retention needs work. The aroma and flavour are malty and slightly sweet, underpinned by ale yeast and balanced hopping. Body is alright. Drinkable and satisfying, but perhaps a touch nondescript. If you like more traditional ales then this is worth sampling.
