Robbie’s Red Roars In!

Robbie’s Red, a strong red-brown ale, with an aroma of malt and hops, is the latest addition to the Adur Brewery range (June 2010). Slight initial sweetness leads into complex flavours including smoky orange peel and a satisfying bitterness which persists into the long finish

The dramatic label reflects the fact that it was commissioned for the Elva racing car enthusiasts club (see www.elva.com).  Robbie’s Red is named for Robbie Mackenzie-Low who was living in Bexhill in the 1950’s when he joined the Elva Racing team as a ‘works’ driver.  He collected many trophies before moving to the States, but was reunited with his Elva-Climax at the first Goodwood Revival in 1998.
 
Suggestions:  Try it with cheese, a sharp Cheddar or a strong blue.  It also pairs well with meat, particularly beef or game. Enjoy the beer, enjoy the cars – but not both at the same time!
 
Ideal serving temperature 10-13°C (50-55°F)
 
Robbie’s Red is available in both 500 ml bottles and casks from the Adur Brewery, and the bottled version is also available from Roger Dunbar via the elva website
