TedE	2.6 Red Tape Coolship Pint on tap at Brewhouse. Minimal hop nose. Hazy amber beer with solid white head. Many fine bubbles. Clean and crisp in the mouth. Finish is long and metallic. Solid but forgettable. Saturday, November 19, 2016
Malrider69	1.3 Red Tape Wood Duck Pale Cream Ale Pours a pale straw colour with a barely existent white coloured head - very under-carbonated. An insipid beer, lacking in body and flavour. Overall very disappointing as I have previously drunk Red Tape beer and it was of a much higher quality. Monday, October 10, 2016
Malrider69	1.7 Red Tape Cannonball Stout Pours a dark brown colour with a slight red coloured hue. Minimal head and very under-carbonated. The flavour is of roasted malt and is short lasting on the palate. Lacking in body for a stout and overall a very disappointing beer. Monday, October 10, 2016
TedE	3.4 Red Tape Rulebreaker Pint on tap at brewery. Cloudy pale yellow beer with thin white head. Many tiny bubbles ascend. Light fruity nose with a little toast. Laces well. Notes of passionfruit and lemon zest. Finish is bitter lemon with late bready malt. A bit lightweight but excellent quencher in the sun. Sunday, October 2, 2016
Dredd	2.8 Red Tape Perfect Storm Lager Not bad. Sweet aroma, golden amber with thin head. Slight corny flavor upfront with a sharp bitter finish. Carbonation is a bit "generous". Wednesday, August 10, 2016
TedE	3 Red Tape Perfect Storm Lager Pint on tap at brewery. Slight haze, thin white head. Slight whiff of hops and malt. Medium fine carbonation. Bitter and fizzy. Finish is sharp tangy bitterness followed by a little malt sweetness. Good interesting lager. Saturday, July 30, 2016
mcberko	3 Red Tape Single Batch Black Storm Lager On tap at King Street Brewhouse, pours a dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma is pretty laid back for the style, with a sort of cracked peppery smokiness to it. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted malt, light smokiness and a hint of malty sweetness. Very restrained but decent. Meh. Wednesday, May 4, 2016
mcberko	2.8 Red Tape Cannonball Stout On nitro tap at King Street Brewhouse, pours a red tinged black with a medium creamy head. Aroma is a bit smoky, with peat and some dry cocoa. Flavour is along the same lines, with a prominent smokiness upfront, and a dry toasty finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Not terribly robust, but it’s decent. Wednesday, May 4, 2016
mcberko	2.7 Red Tape Fish River Gold On tap at King Street Brewhouse, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma and flavour are fairly bland, with toasted malt and very mild hopping. Uninteresting, but clean and easy to drink. Okay. Wednesday, May 4, 2016
mcberko	2.5 Red Tape Coolship On tap at King Street Brewhouse, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out slightly metallic crackery malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with toasted crackery malt and an astringent metallic finish. Not so clean but still decent. Wednesday, May 4, 2016
mcberko	2.8 Red Tape Wood Duck Pale Cream Ale On nitro tap at King Street Brewhouse, pours a hazy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma doesn’t have much going on, just some toasted bready notes.

mcberko	3.2 Red Tape Brewer's Special Kolsch On tap at King Street Brewhouse, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out toasted cereal and dry grassy notes.

TedE	3.3 Red Tape Cannonball Stout Strong coffee nose. Totally Black with cream-yellow head. Tastes like it smells, strong coffee. Beautiful mouthfeel, slightly bitter aftertaste. A joy to drink.
