Sassy Red
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007
Sassy Red would have to be the first beer I’ve poured that looks more like a glass of coke than a glass of beer.
Sassy Red is an Aromatic Ale that is brewed in New Zealand by Mac’s Brewery. It contains saaz hops, a unique and highly sort after variety.
I mentioned before the colour and appearance of this beer is nearly identical to coca-cola, it’s a dark amber colour and has a large amount of fizz when first poured which is unusual for a beer. Sassy Red has a very aromatic sweet fruity smell and the taste is nutty with a fruity aftertaste. This ale has a full taste and in my opinion does not really make for an easy drinking beer. This may be due to the fact the beer has five different types of malts in it.
There is no doubt this is a unique beer but unfortunately it’s too unique for my taste buds, maybe yours will think differently?
