Red Banshee
Pours mahogany but light make this one shine pomegranate red, forms a one finger tan head with decent retention but little lacing. Rather pungent aroma or molasses, bready malts, figs and light all spice. Hop character is earthy and yeasty, slightly citrus. Very sweet. Toasted malts, rather sweet and rather bready. Somewhat spiced and a mild bitterness following, earthy. Very simple overall, but malt heavy for an amber. Some additional hops would do wonders for the balance on this one. Good body but underwhelming carbonation. Makes it feel heavy and syrupy. FCB this claims this is a remake of their Retro Red and as far as I can tell it's the same beer, rather lacking in hops and carbonation but it's got some decent flavor. A rather average amber, not something to seek out but not bad either.
