#294 Orkney Brewery - Dragonhead Red Ale

This red ale has a caramel malt aroma with some hints of candy. The color is a light copper and is very clear. The head pours thick with some retention.

This beer has a dry taste with some light fruit esters. There is also a some bitterness in this beer
adding to the dry taste, there is only a hint of hop flavor that blends with the malt. The fruit flavor from the malt and hops is the main taste of this beer. The mouthfeel is thin and the finish is dry and bitter.

I really enjoy the fruity esters in this beer, it is nice and light and refreshing. I would like a little less bitterness and a bit more sweetness. This is a great beer.
