Brewdog - 5am Saint - Red Ale (Scotland)



I'm going to be a bit harsh again. This Brewdog was one of the worst beers I've ever had. Before even taking a sip, I smelled a hint of seaweed. I checked the expiration date to see if the beer might have gone bad, but it's good until March 2021. Then I wondered if the bottle had been kept in the sun or heat and spoiled, but even if that were the case, I would still give my interpretation based on how the beer tasted.
When American Red Ale is mentioned, I roughly know what kind of beer I'll be tasting. This beer I had doesn't resemble any Red Ales I've had before. I couldn't detect any aroma or taste. Unfortunately, it was a beer that I wished would just end.
I didn't come across any comparisons to a seaweed smell in online reviews. Some mentioned that the taste was a bit weak, but they weren't overly complaining about it. If I happen to come across a fresh one at a Brewdog Pub, I'll give it another try.

Alc (ABV): 5.0%
Score: 5/10
