Winterlong Brewing Co. Sinister Rouge – India Red Ale at 7% ABV (C$6.07 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 31-Oct-2024, reviewed 31-Oct-2024)
Appearance: clear red-tinged medium amber with two fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: caramel, resiny dank pine, citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-high bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly sticky medium duration finish. (4/5)
Decent enough example of the style: malt figures prominently, but there’s enough dank resiny pine and citrus to balance things out. Not bad at all. (15/20)
This will be my 5,992nd unique Untappd check-in.
