The Carmen Lúcia of beers. This seasonal brew’s rich and spicy fruit flavours combine with roasted malts and hops to perfectly balance its darker aftertaste. Red in colour, it’s a ruby temptress with flavours of devastating proportions.

Have made this 3 times now since I started making home brew again after a long break it is now my favourite I leave it to mature for at least 4 weeks longer if I can depending on how many batches I have going.Mr Malcolm tebbit (30 Jan 2021, 11:37)
it is gr8 after just 4 weeks...don't think i have had a better ale from supermarket or pub...bob james (3 Feb 2017, 13:14)
Great tasting brew, my first one I topped up to a 40 pint which weakened it slightly (but there was more of it). Still tasted great. It was done fermenting in about a week and ready to bottle, ABV came out around 5% and tasting the sample (rather than wasting it) at this point it was still a drinkable beer. It's now been bottled for near on 2 months and it's been getting better all the time. That reminds me, I must get the next batch going so it has time to condition before this batch runs out.STEVE (3 Feb 2017, 13:14)
This is a two can, all malt kit that makes an absolutely magnificent pint. The problem is that it's too good and I polished off a keg in a week! As good as any cask ale from a pub and at 70p a pint it's a no-brainier for me.Anonymous (3 Feb 2017, 13:13)
I am really impressed with this bitter.It suits both mine and my other half's pallet without being too strong.Been brewing for about a year now and this is the best so far......a bit more expensive but worth it! Cheers.garry c (3 Feb 2017, 13:12)
