3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
In cask at Monk’s Kettle. Pours a very hazy amber with off-white head that dissapates quickly. Aroma of biscuity malt - you can taste it by the smell. Think meadow of sweet malt. Medium mouthfeel is very well-rounded and coating. Slightly sweet malt gives way on the mid-palate to cereal and grain malts, with strong, spicy hops. Lingering bitterness with sweet malt on the lips.

Bomber; thanks to bhensonb for the bonus bottle; pours clear and deep reddish brown with thin creamy white head to the edges; caramel malts on the nose mixed with some raw orange peels, wheat, hop spices and dried fruit; lots of fruit comes out on the nose mixed with dry hops; light flavors of caramel malt and citrus; smooth, malty and healthy does of pine and citrus hops; mild creamy texture and easy drinking as expected; but has a nice depth to it that you wouldn’t expect; a well crafted and damn tasty complex and hoppy red ale; yum

Not a great beer at all, not terrible, I wouldnt buy it again. I was expecting substantially more. A little cloying and a little boring, but i guess that should be expected form the style.

Thanks to ericandersnavy for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a hazy orangish-brown color with an off-white head. The aroma is resiny hops with some caramel malts. The flavor is similar with toffee and caramel malts which are balanced with the resiny hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
