Toasted malts give this reinvented beer its colour while complimenting the Citra & Columbus hops. Liberal amounts of dry hops balance the initial bitterness with the classic citrus herbal and pine aromas from these two American hops. A balanced beer with a uniquely malty taste, and low bitterness. If you like American craft beer you will want to try this.
Note: Initially released mid-2020 as a Derailed beer, rereleased under the Ludlow braind mid-2021.

Chestnut brown with a frothy tan head and a sweet malty aroma. Light to medium bodied, with a slightly grainy mouthfeel and a balanced dark fruit, malty sweetness and dry hop bitterness. [Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival 2022]

On cask at The Clive Arms. As Ludlow Red Dawn so assumed same beer. Appearance - deep amber to brown. Lovely tan head. Nose - red and orange fruit. Brown bread and cake. Taste - general cakiness with dried orange and raisins. Plums and toffee too. Palate - creamy and light to medium bodied. Lovely gentle taper. Overall - lovely stuff.

Cask pint @ The White Horse Inn, Pulverbatch after a muddy evening night ride in the Shropshire hills. Tasting much better on cask, nice nutty malty red ale sweetness. Very nice. Uprate. July 28th 2020: 330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, July 20. Many thanks Mark for bringing this. Clear amber appearance, off white head. Malty leafy caramel nose. Taste seems extremely hoppy for a red ale, prominent pine with a good spiced caramel base. Promising initial release from Ludlow's new side project.
