Amber-tan with loose crusty buff foam. 3.75
Strawberry and toffee cake nose. 3.75
Burnt pan crust, some dark malt sourness, red currants and underripe plums, then big blackberry (Pacific Gem) hop end with some pine cone, orange jellies, and a hint of dank. 4
Pomegranate finish and jammy linger with hits of sandpaper.
Clingy, more light than medium, fizzy. 3.5
Pacific Gem and Waimea.
Enough malts, unconventional hops - shame it’s gotta be thinned out to meet a UK ABV. Fruit wins out in the end, though it takes a few interesting turns - as the top Brit ruby ales do - as it opens and there’s more hop character (esp hits of Waimea citrus) than required. Comes full circle - NZ ingredients to make a very British red (very much not an American Amber.) 4

It pours a cherry wood stain coloured dark red body with 75% surface covered white multi sized bubble head that is slightly thicker on the rim of the glass.
The Aroma is hard to get out
very low key, slight notes of red liquorice and a bit of stewed sprouts
There is some of that candied hop red ale taste going on but not much
with it not being the full tongue blaster it comes across as the aroma
sprouts with a slight bitter finish
very lacklustre in the taste department
Slightly thin and too fizzy on the MF
There was more flavour in the Rev Craft Lager
not impressed at all
