Description
Amber, Red Ale & Bitter
England: East Sussex
ABV 5.8% - 50.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A strong, dark ale with smoky notes and a satisfying bitterness like a bonfire toffee apple for grown-ups.
The Lowdown:
Here's a seasonal special that hits the spot come November. A dark amber ale with a proper bonfire night vibe. Not shy on the colour, deep amber, almost reddish. First whiff, you get a touch of smokiness, like bonfire embers, mingling with some roasted malt. On the tongue, there's a decent whack of malt flavour, a hint of caramel sweetness, and then that smoky character comes back through. Finishes with a pleasant bitterness, like burnt toffee. Not for the faint-hearted, but a cracking bonfire night companion. Warms you up from the inside out, even if the fireworks fizzle.
The Brewery:
Harveys can fairly claim to be part of England's brewing heritage. They're one of the country's long-established regional breweries still under independent ownership - something of a dying breed - and have been run by the descendants of founder John Harvey since the late eighteenth century, operating from their historic brewery, locally known as "the cathedral", in the heart of the Sussex market town of Lewes. Using locally sourced ingredients is high on their list, and their flagship ales are made with hops and malt sourced almost entirely from Sussex, Kent and Surrey. Tradition and continuity are the twin themes that guide them, yet while their best-known ale, Sussex Best, is something of an institution in its own right, they're not shy of embracing contemporary fashions. All of which leaves Harvey's well placed to play a significant part in England's beer culture well into the future.
