COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned only.
A classic full bodied Celtic Ale with well rounded hops and a coppery hue. Atlantic Red is brewed using Pale, Wheat and Crystal malt, with First Gold and Fuggles hops.
Crystal malt gives a caramel and nutty sweetness which is balanced by the citrus flavours of the late hopped First Gold.

chriso (7062) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 1, 2012
500ml bottle, best before Mar 12, drunk at 2011 Festive tasting on 30 December 2011. Reddish amber colour with a generous pale beige head and decent condition. Fruity malt is prominent in the aroma - berries and a touch of apple. More of the same on the palate. Some sweetness up front but finishes fairly dry. Not a lot of hop character in evidence - just a slight twist of lemon. Decent enough but not particularly imposing.

Cask at The Rake Cornish Beer Fest. Nose is red berries sourness. Taste is red berry fruit: cranberries, raspberries. Bit of subtle malt and hop fruit. Fresh and sharp, but not much else.

Cloudy red-ish colour. Quite flat, which puts me off a bit. The fruity taste is nice, but there’s something about the finish that I don’t like.

Cloudy orange - brown beer. Pretty flat! Watery malt with a lemon grapefruit bittering hop. Complete lack of carbonation lets it down and makes it tea like!

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 24, 2008
Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a huge lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of spices and elderberries. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of bisquits, leading to a dry finish.

downender (4186) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - JUL 13, 2008
Bottle from ASDA. orange coloured with next to no head. Aroma of fruity malt with a whiff of powdered chocolate. Flavour had some marmalade, chewy malt and a short, dry finish. Good.
