First impression was the low carbonation and small head, then a rich red and slightly cloudy body. Medium aroma, with quite an earthy promise of natural flavour to follow. It felt like a real home brew, made with passion and instinct rather than a careful recipe. Enjoyable and I’ll have to try it again

Red ale. Red ale it says on the label.. This is quite a few degrees beyond red to the point I cam barely see my hand on the other side. I must be a bit tired at present because this bordering on being a bit sloppy. I do like that it has good clarity and the head was beautiful while it lasted. The aromas are subtle with redwood, crisp amber malts and burnt toffee which comes through in the flavour. There’s a twinge of bitterness that comes with that toffee note but it’s a mellow sweetness that lingers with flavours of red berries and ripening plums. I liked this more than my crotchety intro, really.
