Commercial Description:
Beneath its glorious Ruby glow lies a beer bursting with the heady aroma of crisp English hops and a vigorous swoop of malt and oats. Red Kite teases the tongue with flavours of fruits & spices and a full smooth warmth which satisfies to the last. -Commissioned by Sainsburys to design and brew

Bottled, 500ml, pasteurised. Red amber with short lasting white head. Working my way through some old bottles and realised I hadn’t rated this one. Tjin and slightly cardboardy body, the aging hadn’t gone so well. Still hints of hoppiness and a cereal like malt body with a slightly perfumed background. Average.

Regularly picked up at Sainsbury’ Kidlington, though haven’t noticed it much for a while. A reddy brown coloured bitter that has plenty of hoppyiness about it, but it’s a bitter that has no real stand out charactersitics but otherwise is absolutely fine.

Clear bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pasteurised. Copper/red. Diminishing head. Trademark Wychwood aroma (yeast characteristic? - apple/toffee/cardboard) Medium mouthfeel. Slightly spicy. Medium length hop finish. Not unpleasant, just a bit boring.

slightly sterile aroma, pours with a dark copper hue and off white head, fairly bland and sterile flavour, bitter finish, not very good.
