Gavroche French Red Ale

Look at the little fella. Just look at him. You'd be mad not to have a soft spot for old Gav looking at his mugshot.

Then you meet Gav in person and something's amiss and awry. What have those frenchies done with Gav?

Whatever they've done it's turned an erstwhile, earnest young beret wearer into something oddly winelike and really not too pleasant. This is probably a bit to do with a lack of familiarity with the style, but I found the other effort tried recently a lot better than this one. I feel like this could have been improved with a greater malt / sweetness profile. 4.5
