Dark brown color with nice white head. Aroma is oaky and has some bread and cookies in there. Taste is a bit weak and waterish with some hints to hops and bread. Aftertaste disappears rather fast. Great aroma and packaging, but lacks a bit of personality.

The pour disappointed me because it wasn't blood red as the label read. It was a dark brown. The aroma was very mild and suttle. The mouthfeel was smooth but a tad thin. The taste reminds me of a Guinness out of the can.

A skism skasm, flism flasm. Caramel and light roast initially followed by a subtle hint of chocolate. No hop presence, timid malts throughout. Frothy white head, chestnut colored body and spotty lacing. Dull and neutral mouth feel. Uninspired brewing.

I really like most Newcastle brews so when I saw this I jumped at the chance to try. Got me a case from Costco for 24.00 hit the beach and went for it. This red ale is very smooth. No crunch to it and very easy drinking even more tastier when you are in the Hawaiian sun. Smoky chocolate flavor meets you at the opening a just all around a great brew. They should think about making this a year round one like the brown ale. Solid one Newcastle!

Comes out of the tap a nice clear golden amber. Head was a bit thin, but that must be an artifact of the pour. Aroma is malty, hoppy and dusty, rather pleasing. Flavor is somewhat bitter, malty and a little fruity with a hoppy undertone, bitter but not too much so. Firm texture is smooth and has plenty of fizz. Overall, one to make you howl!

Very much like the regular Newcastle brown except for the slight rye presence and a touch more hops (the regular has virtually none). I like the additions. Not great still, but better.

Not bad. Actually one of the best Newcastles that I tried. More like a brown or ESB, as "Blood Red Ale" is a little deceiving. As long as you have that mindset and not expecting the world, you should be ok with this.

A red tinged amber colored beer with a big foamy textured, off white head. Good staying power on that head. Nice bready nose. The tasting a nice dance of that bready malt and a mild bitternes from berries and grassy hops. Medium bodied and creamy.

Pours a clear reddish bronze colored body with a 2 inch puffy light tan head that settles to a small cap, some faint lace left behind. Smell is of a dark bread that is baked with berries in the dough. Taste is of malt, slight berries, and a bitter hop flavor on the finish. The bitterness is fleeting on the tongue. Overall, this is a bit of a gimmick, a rye and hop twist on a regular Newcastle; but not a bad brew.
