Beer Advocate B+
Taste +3
The nose is mostly hops: cascades, citrus, fresh and crisp with some light biscuit malts. The taste is a medium mouthfeel and juicy. There is soem caramel/toffee, cinnamon, biscuits and fruits. Quite well balanced despite the bigish hop nose. The end had a little spicy and alcohol ting.
Aftertaste +2
The after effects were slightly carbonic/minerally with an earthy yeast coating. Very similar to a fresh toffee scone.
Alcohol Content +1 8.2%
It only provided a warmth, not a burn.
Value +1
I picked this up for $6 for a bomber; a very good value for flavour. The label art is also very cool.
Ingame Enhancement +1
It was Monday so that meant Zombie Night in Canada. I managed to get a crazy 50% accuracy. Do they still count friendly fire as accurate?
Overall 8/10
A well done red ale. It was toffee juicy with biscuity yeast and a big citrus hop presence. I'm glad I bought two bottles; might cellar the other one.
