Fruity Brummie

Tap to rate

Fruity Brummie is a 4.1% pale ale infused with mango, and the name says what it is about. The fruit clearly leads, with mango joined by a distinct peach impression. Brewed since 2018, it is mainly a draught beer at the brewery taproom, poured from keg and occasionally from cask; cans are the exception.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Fruity Brummie

◎ Appearance

Fruity Brummie presents a pale golden hue with bright clarity and a modest white head that settles into a thin collar. The carbonation is visible as fine bubbles rising through the glass, with gentle Schaumkleiden clinging to the sides. This is a visibly fresh, inviting pale ale with the characteristic translucence of its style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads decisively with stone fruit—mango takes centre stage, accompanied by a distinct peach impression that adds complexity. A gentle noble hop character provides subtle herbal undertones, while the Malz contributes a soft, biscuity base that supports rather than dominates. The overall aromatic profile is fresh and fruit-forward without becoming artificial.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with approachable sweetness from the mango and peach adjuncts, balanced by a moderate, clean bitterness from the Edelhopfen. The mid-palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with the fruit flavours integrating naturally into the beer's structure rather than sitting as isolated notes. Bitterness remains restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the fruit to remain the focal point throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, with the fruit fading to reveal a light, grainy residue. A gentle herbal dryness lingers from the hops, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.

Pint glass

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.
