Muster Red Ale hails from Geraldine - it's in the South Island... never been there. Its website says this about the small town of 3000."Surrounded by majestic mountains and nestled in the heart of Canterbury, Geraldine is a must visit for the whole family."
Muster Red Ale lives up to its name with an incredible ruby-red colour. It's head disappeared in a blink but I could smell its warm, healthy maltiness while I was lining the bottle up for a photo. Muster's maltiness coats the mouth beautifully, and leaves a warm, medium roastiness that's perfectly balanced with a little sweetness that fades to a touch hoppiness - everything a good red ale should do.
Muster is a lovely beer. I'd definitely go again. Valley Brewing also do a Pale Ale - now I have a good reason to visit Geraldine. 7/10
