The Ritual Continues

Tap to rate

Ripe tropical fruit, peach and citrus are balanced by the savoury umami of Mosaic, a hop-forward pale built on Nectaron's bold aromas and intense impact. This 5% double dry-hopped pale shows how well these two hops work in a lower-ABV package, for people who want the hops without worrying about the alcohol.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with intense stone fruit and tropical character—ripe peach, passionfruit, and mango—layered atop herbaceous and resinous hop complexity from Mosaic and Nectaron. A subtle savory umami undertone grounds the bright citrus notes without weighing them down.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with peach and citrus fruit flavors taking center stage on a light, refreshing body. The mid-palate develops a subtle hop resin bite and savory depth that prevents the beer from becoming thin, while moderate bitterness arrives late and fades into a dry finish.

◑ Finish

Clean and quick, with lingering citrus and a mild resinous afterglow. The low alcohol allows the hop character to shine without any warming sensation.

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.
