Appearance: Massively carbonated, but after the last Dunedin beer I poured from a bottle I knew to be careful with this one. A pour down the side still yields a four finger head, with plenty of beer still left in the bottle. Beer itself is an attractive ruddy amber in color. Slightly off-white head that promises good retention.
Smell is predominantly malty, with bready notes predominating. Some caramel.
Taste: Bread, caramel and slight toast. Hops show up just as a bitter balance to the malt, with little in the way of hops flavor standing out. Finishes on a slightly astringent note, reminiscent of some cheap pilsners. A bit surprised to see East Kent Goldings listed as a hop used, I don't taste it at all.
Mouthfeel: Massively carbonated, distractingly so. Otherwise fine.
Drinkability: Not bad, I'd drink this again but given the choice I'd probably pick their Pale Ale. I can't understand why Dunedin sends their beers out so highly carbonated!

Appearance: Lightly hazed, tawny-hued amber body with a near-white head.
Smell: A sweetish smell of toaster crisped bread slices, lightly caramelized sugars and soft fruity esters with minimal influences from herbal hops.
Taste: As with the nose, it's sweetish and toasty with a touch of scantly nutty caramel. There's an apple-like fruitiness, but also some light citrus showing from the hops. Lightly bitter. Semi-dry, near-crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Overall: A solid, simple red ale.
