Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a cloudy coppery amber. Very little head leaving a thin ring around the glass after pouring. Spicy aroma of malt, cinnamon and another unidentifiable spice. Flavor is sour apple, light malt and cinnamon. Finishes dry, slightly sour with light hops. Not sure if this was intended to be sour from the name, but it took me by surprise. An interesting flavor combination; the cinnamon actually seems like an unusual, but interesting flavor for an ale, but the astringency from the spicing combined with the sourness made it difficult to drink after a while. Light to medium bodied. I had to knock down the taste score because this had very little resemblance to a red ale as named. The lack of carbonation and sourness may hint that this did not turn out as intended.

Serving type: growler
