About

Bonnets Rouges from Brasserie Lancelot is a fruit beer brewed with elderberries in Brittany, France. It honours the historic Bonnets Rouges uprising of 1675, when Breton farmers rebelled against royal taxation. This beer marries malty depth with subtle elderberry and caramel notes. The colour is a bright red, with fruity character that remains restrained rather than cloying. The finish is dry and lightly herbal, making it refreshing despite the fruit focus. Brasserie Lancelot brews this beer using traditional methods: pure malt, unfiltered and unpasteurised, with triple fermentation.
