Adnams X Verdant – Evening Gleams Cans 440ml 4.2% Red Ale

As the autumn sun sinks to the sea in the late afternoon, a kaleidoscope of colour emerges. We kicked through fallen leaves together and stirred up woody aromatics, pine needles and crunchy rye spice in this American Red Rye Ale. Enjoy it in the embers of an autumnal day. Suitable for vegans, it is unfiltered in can, and will therefore pour naturally hazy. Evening Gleams is brewed using Red Rye Crystal and Chocolate malts, and Talus, Simcoe and HBC 586 hops. You’ll unearth complex, woody aromatics, with lots of cedar and pine upfront. This develops into pineapple, bready notes and crunchy rye spice, and revisiting whips up a touch of autumnal red apples and blueberries. On the palate, it is full bodied with flavours of orange pith zest, and its upfront sweetness broadens out to a long, lingering bitterness.

Beer Facts

Adnams is from the coastal town of Southwold and Verdant is from Penrhyn. We have a similar topography and outlook. From the burnished beaches of our hometowns to the heathered heathland beyond, we’re both inspired by the landscape around us. Looking to reflect that seaside seasonal switch to autumn, we decided to brew an American Red Rye Ale together. It is brewed using Red Rye Crystal and Chocolate malts, and Talus, Simcoe and HBC 586 hops. we’ve fallen for their autumnal profile of woodiness, pine and potpourri and a lovely balance of stone, orchard and citrus fruit.

 Beer has been brewed on the same site in Southwold for at least 670 years. Our long history gives us firm foundations and we look forward to an exciting and sustainable future.
