Following the trend, this is another ‘red ale’ from yet another small brewery. Interesting that the quality is so variable amongst these small brewery beers – with so many more reaching the market now, we can expect this to change as many sink or swim.

I can’t say I’m a fan of this one though. it smells toasty & richly malted, but the palate is short and simple – it starts so well, but nothing carries through to the back end. Next.
