Newcastle -- Werewolf "Blood Red Ale"



Escaped from Britain!  I previously reviewed Newcastle Winter IPA -- a beer I didn't really care for.  Thanks to our friend Paul I got to try Werewolf.  Like the Winter IPA, it's a limited edition.  As you can see it's a dark copper color, which I guess is close enough to be able to call it "blood red ale."  This beer is still thin tasting and light in body.  It's more bitter than the Newcastle Brown or Winter IPA, and the other thing that sets it apart is there is a burnt taste on the nose.

Overall, Werewolf is nothing to brag about, but if you're a Newcastle fan or someone buying beer for a party its worth trying and is a little different than just the regular Brown.
