High Hopes
High Hopes is a West Coast pale ale that the brewery developed for a single British supermarket chain, where it has been sold in cans since 2020; the name was first used for a stronger IPA. Extra pale and light crystal malts give a lean malt profile with a touch of sweetness. Mosaic, Citra, Chinook, Simcoe and Centennial bring aromas of ripe citrus fruit and pine needles; tasters add grapefruit, orange peel, a hint of mango and a resinous, bitter finish.
