Reliance Pale Ale
Bright, citrusy and easy to drink: Reliance is a pale ale brewed with Amarillo, Cascade, Chinook and Centennial over pale malt, dextrin and caramalt. It is named after Reliance Arcade, the Grade II listed market passage in Brixton, built in 1924 with an Egyptian-inspired frontage on Electric Lane, while the curved arches on the label echo the art deco facade on Brixton Road. At 4.2% it is meant as an everyday pale ale.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Reliance Pale Ale
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.
