beer, beer, beer

On my last visit to the purveyor of fine brews, I came away with two each of three different Red Hill varieties. Added to an earlier review of their Wheat Beer, I think this completes the ’set’. Some good, some not so convincing.

They say: The colour of burnished copper, strong with a caramely sweetness. A malt driven beer [...] blend of English Malts, some of which are dark roasted to impart the toffee and sweet flavours of this ale.

…And for once, I agree totally with their spiel. It’s a rich handsome colour in the glass and the immediate sensations of caramel and toffee are right there up front. Way too sweet for me, but there may be people who want this in a beer. The sort of drink that works well with cold weather, open fires and hearty food… I guess that’s what they want up in Scotland!

The bare facts:
