Cantrip

Tap to rate

Cantrip is a Kölsch-style ale named after the simplest spell in fantasy role-playing games, one a caster can repeat at will. Pilsner malt gives a pale straw body with good clarity and light notes of grain and fresh white bread. A delicate floral hop bitterness sits on top, with a grassy nose and a hint of lemon in the flavour. Carbonation is lively, the body light and the finish dry with a mild bitterness.

◐ Taste

Light body and moderate carbonation maintain freshness throughout, while a hint of lemon acidity balances the mild hop character. The bitterness remains restrained and refined, never aggressive.
