Spring Hopper
Juicy and packed with hop flavour, this 4% pale ale delivers a tropical fruity punch and a resiny finish. Hops go in at every step of the brewing process to maximise that tropical character, and the beer arrives in spring to chase away the winter blues. Arkell's pours it on cask and draught.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Spring Hopper
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
