650ml bottle - more organic brew, which doesn't exactly make me happy at first glance.
This bottle pours a slightly hazy, dark red-brick amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky off-white head, which leaves some splendid snow rime pattern lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, mixed pome fruity notes, minor domestic citrus rind, a hint of phenolic yeastiness, and some understated earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and grainy caramel malt, some muddled apple, pear, and generic citrus flesh fruitiness, a minor estery yeast thing, and more timid leafy, musty, and dead floral 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly timid it its workaday frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, nothing in particular really getting in the way here, but nothing actually overtly helping, by the same sword. It finishes off-dry, the basic bitch malt keeping it squarely between the biscuity ditches.
Overall - well, this one has one half of its name down pat, as it is definitely red in its ale bearing. As for the other claim, I cannot account for that, as I have found myself bored beyond belief drinking this offering, and the only 'raging', is against the dying of the light, to quote some long dead poet, as such.
