This ale is brewed using mineral water drawn from the artesian well deep beneath the Shepherd Neame brewery. It is heated and combined with crushed Pale Ale and Crystal malts at the very start of the brewing process. The generous additions of UK Cascade and East Kent Goldings hops produce a bittersweet, fruity flavour to this medium bodied ale. It is a well balanced, clean crisp beer with hints of coloured malt character. Enjoy lightly chilled.

Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Amber-red with a small head. Good winter warmer with plenty of red ale character, and a good hop-malt balance in this respect.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Deep reddish-amber in colour with a short-lived off-white head. Aroma of caramel, dusty hops and red berries. Flavour had more fruit, some toffee sweetness, ripe malts and a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
