St Peter’s Brewery Ruby Red Ale

Beer of the month comes from Suffolk, UK, the St Peter’s Brewery Ruby Red Ale.  The St Peter’s Brewery in Bungay Suffolk uses pure waters from beneath the brewery to produce a rich red ale with very subtle malt undertones and a spicy hop aroma from Styrian Goldings (Slovenian hops with a perfume containing pine, lemon and citrus character).  The Ruby Red Ale is cold filtered and very low on fizz, so you are left without the gaseous after taste.  The bottle the ale comes in is almost as interesting as the beer itself.  The bottle is an oval shaped flask bottle, very distinctive and characteristic of all of the St Peter’s ales.

For those that cannot tolerate gluten, St Peter’s do a “G-Free” ale with a pilsener style finish with flavours derived from American Amarillo hops (citrus and mandarin aromas).

The good news is that St Peter’s also export to Australia, so keep an eye out when you next visit you more discerning beer stockist. ( I found this in Sword’s at Prahran Market -Michael)

Cheers, Paul.
