Red Dust, takes its name from the cloud of Iron Oxide, emitted when the Steelworks were in production. In times now long gone, there were red clouds of the dust that would hang over the town, settling on cars and washing hung out to dry! The air in Consett maybe somewhat cleaner now, but the memory remains for many, and lives on in this beer!

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April 23. Thanks Jeremy for this one. Deep hazed amber appearance with a respectable off-white topping. Takes us on a spicy fruitcake tangent with some herbal action. I like my red ales sweeter but it's a fine specimen.
