Flavius: This is our second requested beer review. I know this fan feedback will gain us more readers and later fame and fortune.
Meterman: I will not be part of your dog and pony show to get noticed. Your feeble attempts to gain popularity will lead you nowhere.
F: What do you care. Think of it this way; more requests means more free beer for you.
M: Now you are talking. WOOF WOOF
Red Seal Ale - North Coast Brewing
This is sure to be a good one. Anything my North Coast Brewing is a great beer. Other notable beers by this brewery is the old Rasputin Stout.
Taste +3
This is beer a little on the sweet side, but not too much. This dark amber ale (almost copper colours) holds plenty of carbonation and a thick head that never went away. Immediately there was a nose of hops, pumpkin. This gave a nice light bitterness that floated from the front to the back of the mouth. A well executed red ale; very nice balance of caramelized, malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness.
Aftertaste +1
These flavours are followed by a nice hoppy bitterness; slightly metallic.
Value 0
It can be a little hard to find in Victoria. I found it at the Spinnakers cold beer and wine in Esquimalt. It carries the standard imported craft beer price tag. A 341ml bottle costs $2.30.
Alcohol content 0 5.5%
A very easy drinking beer and you can't taste the alcohol.
Ingame enhancement +1
The actual acknowledgement that I am doing reviews giving this a positive score.
Overall Score 5/10
Despite the low score this is a good beer. It has won many awards, or so they claim. If you see it pick one up and send one to me.
