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.
The finest pale ale malt and gently-kilned crystal malt is brewed with Cascade and East Kent Goldings to create a hoppy flavour, double enhanced with the late copper addition of East Kent Goldings and Cascades added to the cask for racking.
Plum, prunes, raisins, a touch of toffee and tropical fruit are just of the flavour flourishing beneath the crimson-copper coloured cloak of this eminently easy-drinking ale.

Rating from 2009. Kastanienbraune Farbe, sehr angenehme kräuterige Hopfennote, die gut zur Ale-Malzigkeit passt. Sehr langer Hopfenintensiver, käuteriger Nachgeschmack. Dezent bitter. Leichte Säuerlichkeit und angenehm milde Ale-Note. --> Sehr sehr toll! 14/13/13/14

500ml bottle shared by Gaute. Frothy, off-white head with satisfying duration and lacing. Deep copper-brown coloured body. Malty aroma with hints of fruity hops. Semi-sweet malty taste nicely mixed with citrus fruits leading to a resin-like bitterness to the ending, semi-dry. Fine drinkability. Fits the season (Tromsø 24.10.2013).

A reddish brown beer with a medium and blond head.The nose is caramelly malty, some wood, and slighly aromatic citrusfruits, quite fresh. Taste of caramelly malts, still quite dry, citrusfruity hops, wood. Almost medium bodied, slightly harsh carbonation. Nothing unique, but basic bitter, quite fresh, that’s nice.

500 ml bottle purchased from the brewery shop. A clear, beautiful copper golden body with a small pale beige head. Aroma has caramel malt and some grass. Flavor is mainly caramel malt as well, some grassy bitterness and slightly fruity. Medium body and some bitterness in aftertaste. OK standard bitter, but nothing extra here.

Cask at Tom Cribb, Shep Neame, London. Pours clear amber with a fine, frothy white head. Fruity aroma, some orange and berries, light caramel. Light to medium sweet flavor, low bitterness, bready malts, more berries. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderately sweet finish, more bready, lightly toasted malts, light fruity sugars, suggestions of caramel. Mild character but OK.

Bottle courtesy of Asda! Lovely aroma, rich malty taste and very refreshing. Lovely colour too. I really didn't know what to expect when I bought this beer and probably feared the worst, but was very pleasantly surprised. Serving too cold will destroy the flavour, so leave it out of the fridge for an hour before serving. I like this ale and will buy it again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
