I was in Paris, and therefore my choice of red ales was somewhat lacking. I went to a well known beer bar, La Gueuze, in the hope to find something. The menu did say that the one that I picked was 'Rouge'. So I ordered it!

Ahleckz your a naughty boy! There was no mention of foreign words for red so your not havin the points.

Squid · 9 Jul 2013 at 13:04

Well his is red... and it was redder than my red ale....
i say its ok ..its a rogue lambic. so its red soured ale...

edit or is the argument over it not saying rouge /red on label.... if thats why then its a no/

I'll have to vote no for Ahleckz, soz.

Sonea Fifer · 9 Jul 2013 at 15:25

Well I vote a yes for Ahleckz's entry - other people had the "Rogue" in the title and though his didn't it certainly looks like it poured red both from his picture and the other pictures we can see on Google.

For me, I'd class it as a fruit beer and yes Cherries are red but it just doesn't seem right.

I see your point and kind of agree - one thing is for sure should we have another beer competition then all these rules will have to be agreed upon well in advance.

DirtyJester said:
I think it was more a case of being on holiday and trying to grab something at the last minute, that and I'm jealous!

I'm thinking you might well be right there too - on both points

Red beers aren't that easy to track down.

Really?

I found them one of the easiest to buy both my entry and my previous post in the "Now Drinking" thread for my Thrappledouser which was also red and both were bought locally to me. :confused:

In the end I said no because all it had going for it is that it is red colour, if someone else had entered a fruit beer that was red I would also say no. Red Ale is a style of beer and will be designated as such on the label.

The Rogue used by others was in brewery name or beer name, they also had 'Red Ale' mentioned. By his own admission as stated on page one, he said the Rouge was on the 'Menu'.

I've been saying, yelling even screaming this all along. Having said that, this round that doesn't apply. Check page one of this thread or the BOTW main thread. It clearly states 'Red Ale'.

You cheeky git!

My thoughts in a nutshell.

No points in this round for Ahleckz. I honestly think hand on heart he knows it himself and was chancing it with a smile on his face

I'll sort the points tomorrow whenever I'm off.

EDIT: Points now updated

Fair enough

Also fair enough - however (though it won't make any difference to the outcome) I still stand by my decision.

Meh - I've been called worse

Hoping the lovely weather stays with you too on your day off - and with that I'm back out to my patio with my Punk IPA and my book

Better than your Bourbon beer. I had a similar Rum beer for my "Just" round and thought it was terrible!

DirtyJester · 9 Jul 2013 at 16:46

Weather is suppose to hold into the weekend. Once tonight is over I'm off till Sunday

Enjoy it mate, the weather and beer

The worst thing is I bought the Bourbon beer in a four pack

I'll try pass the remaining bottles off to my brother-in-law when he's back from the rigs

Me to (or at least the wife did as she knows i like beer. She did apologise and get me a bottle of Amstel after she tasted it though

Rojin · 9 Jul 2013 at 19:18

Bourbon beer has to be worth a go as a base for a marinade surely?!
