A complex and richly flavoured premium ale
As September begins and the days become shorter, autumn is awakening. This can only mean one thing: Shepherd Neame favourite Late Red is brewing.
Complex and full-flavoured, this seasonal ale forges the perfect balance between rich, dark malt flavours and a citrussy hop finish.
It blends pale ale malt and gently-kilned crystal malt with UK Cascade and Goldings hops. To enhance its taste and aroma, the beer is triple-hopped, with a late copper addition of Goldings and Cascade.
The popular crimson-copper ale truly is autumn in a glass.

TASTING NOTES
Plum, prunes, raisins, a touch of toffee and tropical fruit are just some of the flavours flourishing beneath the crimson-copper coloured cloak of this eminently easy-drinking ale. A peppery, resinous hop finish - courtesy of Kent-grown Cascade hops - adds a spice to the nutty sweetness. Rather remarkable with a roast.
