#73 - Jennings - Red Rascal

I'm always up for something new and cheeky, especially when it's sent in with a new bit of pump art, but this beer I just don't understand.  It's sweet, it's watery, there isn't really much more flavor, it's only 3.8%, so the drinker is left with...  Well... Not a lot.  To be fair, it doesn't actively taste bad, but there just isn't much of a flavor to carry it through.  I would have understood this beer if they'd either heavily hopped it to balance the sweetness, or thickened it and added some extra ABV so that it could be drunk as a heavier ale, but as a light pint it simply doesn't work.  If you're in a pub and there's nothing else on, feel free to give it a try, but for me, there simply isn't enough to it. 5/10
