A couple of sundays ago we had been out for most of the day, got back and I had to crack on with a chicken roast post haste. I was absolutely parched though and grabbed something quickly to sate my thirst while i got a-peeling.
I have had a couple of Newman's beers on draft before, okay but nothing special, and one bottled beer which was the Cave Bear stout which followed that trend also.Red Stag bitter is 3.6% abv, 330mls.
The colour was a nice red amber, aroma of fruit and malt, little bits of toffee sweetness.
Solid malt backbone, reasonable body, a little over sweet with caramel but countered by a good bitterness.
Perhaps it was the thirst I had, it probably was one of those 'right time right beer' moments but this went down a treat that afternoon.
I suspect that if tried it again I would be a bit 'meh' and really overall its a good standard bitter.
If this is the one you gave me, it's smashing.
