Redd's Dry from South African Breweries plc
Rating: C-
Appearance: Pale gold color, with head! The head is the first tip off that this isn't just a cider. The label calls it a "fruit ale"
Smell is very distinctly of red apple (not green!)
Taste: huge red apple flavor. No malt, no hops - maybe the only reason they call this "ale" is the kind of yeast used? The label indicates a "hint" of apple. Maybe a hint wrapped around a brick.
Mouthfeel: aftertaste is reminiscent of aspartame. Carbonation seems a little low, the "dry" tag doesn't seem like it quite fits.
Drinkability: perhaps I'm biased because I prefer green apples to red ones and this is definitely a red apple beer. Didn't feel like a second bottle.
Serving type: bottle
