UPDATED: MAY 12, 2021 Aroma; scents from herbs, hay, mild malts, grain, fruit. Look; fine fluffy fawn head, on clear reddish mahoganish body. Taste; flavours from herbs, hay, mild malts, caramel, plum, juicy grain, and finishes balanced. Feel; okay body and co². Overall; red it was. [8-10cl from can, T@ O'Reilly Men, thanx to Mulligan, Flanagan, Donovan, Branigan, Sullivan, Cunningham, Gach Éireannach, and Saint Patrick.]

UPDATED: APR 30, 2021 Dark red colour. Malty aroma, caramel, little pine. Sweet, lots of malt, caramel with a kind of sour finish. It's ok but I don't really like red ales.

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2020 33cl can from my brother. Medium beige head. Hazy amber pour. Light bitterness. Easy drinking

UPDATED: OCT 28, 2019 Review: 330ml tiny can of Franciscan Well Rebel Red Ale: 4.3% vol. Have had this on draught which I loved, very crisp and so easy to drink. For the tiny cans bought in the supermarket, I dig the well designed colourful red setting with white lettering and distinctive Franciscan Well monastery logo, “crafted the Cork way” with a “smooth revolution”, love it. The name “Rebel Red”, of course, a nod to Cork, the “Rebel County”. Very nice on the appearance, getting a nice reddish hue and a general dark amber look, a good white head, not a bad looking beer. A bit of carbonation, fizzing around, makes a decent white head. A very light aroma on the nose, barely registering anything to be honest. Getting a lagery type smell, caramel malts, some hops, yeast, citrus, and that’s about it. All light though. Initially, lovely big refreshing mouthfuls on the taste. Getting a regular red ale taste to it, the malts, dark fruits, and hops are there, also getting a taste of caramel. Also get a decent amount in the glass from the can, considering how tiny they are, not bad. Taste does go a bit watery though, and I am getting a slight off taste to it. The aftertaste is a bit strong, a bit “urgh”, all a bit too much in the caramel, too sweetish and too hoppy for me. Overall, it is not that bad of a red ale I suppose and has all the main characteristics of a red ale as one would expect. I have had this on the taps, and I can tell you it tastes much, much better. It is really a very decent brew when in the bar. Not so much from a cheap can off the supermarket shelf, which is less smooth and has a bitter taste that was not as appealing.………..

UPDATED: SEP 11, 2019 On tap in Cork, Ireland. Clear brown with a thin off-white head that dilapidates quickly. Aroma is roasted malts. Taste is malt, not too sweet, gently bitter, but also a bit watery. Drinkable.

UPDATED: JUL 31, 2019 On tap at Henry's (Belfast, Northern Ireland). Limpid amber body with a thin, lasting, off-white foamy/creamy head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with brown sugar hints. Its simple malty/hoppy taste carries woody and brown sugar notes. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish.

UPDATED: JUL 26, 2019 On tap at the place with great pizza and lousy service. Cobblestone Joe's in Limerick. Slightly cloudy deep red in color with a thin off white head that slowly recedes. Bready caramel and butterscotch. Light earthy hops and fruit.

UPDATED: JUL 20, 2019 Tap@ Franciscan Well te Cork. Roodbruin van kleur. Ruikt moutig, beetje rood fruit. Smaakt bittermoutig, niet veel body

UPDATED: JUL 16, 2019 Ok. The flight I had did not make me buzz about any. The pizza I had was better
