Refresh. I will try to check the beer situation later today. I have sampled the Late Red elsewhere and it is very nice with a hint of a sweetness in comparison to say Master Brew (that is not actually sweet, but more sort of round and less bitter) and a tinge of nuttiness - and a smooth finish.

The Sheps tasting notes say: -

"Late Red is a complex, richly-flavoured autumn hop ale. With an appropriately Autumnal auburn hue, this premium beer achieves a perfect balance between rich, dark malt flavours, and a strong, robust hoppiness.

A deep sweetness combining burnt notes with toffee and honey characterise this Autumn ale. The fresh water from the Brewery's Well balances the Cascade hops, specially grown in Kent, with their resinous note of Autumn leaves."



Of the current seasonal (Jan/Feb) special, the Sheps website says: -

"AMBER ALE
SEASONAL ALE FOR JANUARY/FEBRUARY

A golden brown ale with a fruity aroma and zesty citrus, complementing the full malty palate."




I am hoping to have a rocked-up version of Sir Patrick Spens ready, and maybe a Rolling Stones song I have not previously done in "Folk style".
