      As the face poured, I could smell a sweet malty scent. This one smelled much more high alcohol then the 5.5 it's listed at. The head was big and creamy strangely enough. It sat on the top of the glass for a good while. This one has a real strange taste for a red ale. Raisin and caramel flavors are fine but don't blend well with the hops. A slightly bitter kick that makes it taste almost like a watered down whiskey or bourbon. Not a favorite of mine.
      This one wasn't that good. It seemed like a beer that didn't have a place. It had some of the characters of a red ale but seriously tasted watered down. The flavors are all there to be a great beer but there just to muted. The muted flavors then leave you with a weird after taste. You could easily find red ales I love on this site. Lobster really isn't that memorable.
