Shepherd Neame launches Late Red Autumn Splendour Ale
The crimson copper-coloured brew offers the perfect balance between rich, dark malt flavours and a citrussy hop finish. It blends pale ale malt and gently-kilned crystal malt with UK Cascade and Goldings hops. To enhance the taste and aroma it is then triple-hopped, with a late copper addition of Goldings and Cascade.
Late Red will be available on draught until November and is also available in 500ml bottle.
This comes as Shepherd Neame has been urging people to taste this year’s batch of Shepherd Neame’s Green Hop Ale (4.2% ABV).
It is brewed by the Faversham-based brewery every year for the Kent Green Hop Beer Fortnight at the end of September.
Instead of the usual dried hops, the beer uses fresh, or ‘green’ Kentish hops within 12 hours of being picked.
