THE RED PROJECT features 10 red beers brewed to celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2015.
Number One in the Red Project is "The Bloody Plums". A traditional farmhouse saison has been brewed featuring the plums from the old plum tree on our farm that has shaded many a beer drinker over the last decade. A windfall year of plums has produced this amazing saison, which is truly a farmhouse brew.

Aromas of cherry, plums and biscuits with an overlay of white pepper are really delightful. It’s less impressive in the mouth, with a slightly watery palate and quite intense bitter plum flavour but not much complexity.

Bottle, 10C. Had this as the blood moon reached totality. Slightly hazy pale amber with a white head. Aroma is floral and spicy with plums, slightly funky crackery dough. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. And so it tastes - a bit of toffee, slightly tart plums, light dough, peppery and quite bitter at the fairly dry finish. The finish has funk, spices and bitterness and really makes it. Alcohol is dangerously well hidden. Good. [3.7] Seems to be changing quite quickly - now has a peach bubblegum character and is fruitier overall.
