#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
