Sea Dog
Sea Dog is a strong pale ale of 5.5% from the Cliff Quay core range, brewed with a heavy hand on the hops. The aroma is floral and fruity with a touch of citrus, the palate shows clean malt, and the finish is crisp and bitter. It is one of the beers Jeremy Moss created for the brewery and continues in his memory. Sea Dog has been brewed since 2013 and is poured on cask and also sold in bottle.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sea Dog
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.
