Red Nelson is a ruby red beer at 4.7% with enough strength to give it a kick. We've blended Nelson Sauvin with some big citrus hops to give a mouth-watering full flavour of Sauvignon Blanc grape and gooseberry, balanced against the gentle caramel of dark Munich and Crystal malts.

Cask handpull at King's Head. Clear russet colour lasting beige head. Some spicy rye some amber malts. Tasty enough. Goes down well. Decent bitterness on the finish. Some rose Turkish Delight flavour

27/9/2023. Cask at the Spread Eagle, Ipswich. Pours clear dark amber brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of caramel, citrus, bread, malt, hints of white grape, gooseberry and cooking chocolate. Medium sweetness and moderate developing bitterness. Medium body, very soft carbonation. Interesting concept, didn’t fully work for me but was a grower.
