Rockfield-ina

Tap to rate

Rockfield-ina is the session version of the brewery's flagship IPA, first made for its third birthday and since brought back. It is brewed with German and English malts, fermented with an English yeast and hopped with Mosaic and Citra as pellets and Cryo hops. The beer is golden and slightly hazy, with a balanced bitterness and an intense hop character of white peach, passion fruit, citrus and mango.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with white peach and passion fruit notes from the Mosaic and Citra hops, underpinned by subtle citrus and tropical mango undertones. A light malt sweetness provides balance without obscuring the hop-forward profile, while the English yeast contributes a clean, neutral backdrop.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp stone fruit and subtle mango, evolving into a balanced bitterness that sits comfortably in the mid-palate rather than dominating. The German and English malts provide light sweetness and body, allowing the Cryo hop character to shine without harshness or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with lingering hop oils and a gentle citrus fade. The session strength allows the aftertaste to refresh rather than fatigue.

Serve at 7–10°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
