Tap Handle #187: Red Fox Pale Ale

Red Fox Brewery was founded in Coggeshall, Essex, UK, in 2008 by Russ Barnes. Barnes was the brewer of Supreme Champion Beer of Great Britain at GBBF two years running with Crouch Vale’s Brewer’s Gold. After almost 4 years at Crouch, Russ opened his own brewery, which was developed from specially refurbished chicken sheds, featuring 6 regular beers and a selection of seasonal beers.

Red Fox Pale Ale is a traditional style pale ale with a fruit cocktail twist. It’s an interesting mix of an old style beer and the Art Nouveau of modern ales, which has blended the new Beeta hop for aroma. Weighted average on ratebeer.com is 2.73 out of 5.
