Pale, rust-hued, Band-Aid-scented ale gains bittersweet fruitiness above brown-sugared barley biscuit base. Artesian water allows for clean, crisp citric finish. Slight nutmeg-coriander spicing provides light holiday ale suggestion.

Pour slowly heavily carbonated penny-coppered medium-bodied German or risk overly foamy head. Thick grain foundation punctuated by peripheral rye restraint, floral clove jab, lemony hop tang, and chewy butterscotch finish. Sourdough yeast clumps cluster firmly entrenched earthen bottom.

Opulent five-malt ale with chewy mocha creaminess and dwindling African black honey extract boasts efficient full-bodied retention. Scruffy fizz overwhelms fruity tartness and gentle grain base as black licorice finish finds middle ground between red ale and malt liquor. Brewery defunct: 2000.

Complacent tan-headed bronze-bodied Irish-styled red ale succumbs to slick malt souring, slack grain starkness, musty maize murk, and floozy floral fling. Rusty tinniness at oily finish undermines bittersweet orange-citrus tang.

Acrid orange-decayed grape-soured tartness bleeds through dry pale-chocolate malting and earthen peat astringency of light brown body. Roasted barley-oats spine fortifies sharp citric hop fizzing and latent smoked wood reminder. Brewery defunct: 2003.

Sampled directly after awful Drax Beer for real Halloween treat! Fetching red devil on label quite eye catching in its detail. As for ale inside, haunting chocolate residue and spooky yeast sediment strike first, but marauding mocha malt sweetness dies over time. Brewed as traditional English Ale, witchy tonic needs more ghoulish spicing. Serve with fangs. Brewery defunct: 2006.

Moderate creaminess, raspberry murk, and barley-wheat resonation weaken by dank malt finish. Dark fruity overtones subside rapidly and a lack of spiciness deters its promise. Closer to a simple lager with only faded red ale overtones.

Funky sour malt-stricken, clear-bodied, eggshell-headed amber needs better caramel roast, deeper spiced cherry perk, and richer nutty bottom. Happily, sweet yeast fragrance, crisp hop-embellished finish, and red grape wisp rout diacetyl absorption, allowing blue-collar drinkers easy access.

Evergreen-freshened ruby red medium body furnishes sharp-fruited ripeness with nutty pliancy and floral cadence. Toasted almond and roasted chestnut illusions amiably counter piney Amarillo hop bittering as tangy peach-apricot-cherry expanse widens, embracing latent grapefruit-pineapple-orange tartness as well as subtle strawberry-watermelon nip.

Pleasant light-bodied Irish Red Ale-styled lawnmower fare. Mild Scotch tranquility receives barren bruised orange tang and distant marzipan tinge. Toasted honey oats and mineral grains recede accordingly.

Billowy beige-headed auburn-hued fruit-scented Alaskan incisively spice-hopped and sharply grained; reminiscent of mildly bitter red ale. Deceivingly strong, despite watery auspices, gaining creamy malt richness and slim orange tang mid-palate.

Prune hue, good head retention, and slim yeast particles visible for flatly carbonated barley roasted amber ale stylistically closer to a ‘maltier’ E.S.B. But raisin-esque middle lacks body and initial malt sweetness fades.
