Wheelbarrow As A Chair

Tap to rate

Enigma gives a light white-wine essence with fresh red berry notes, while Mosaic and Citra add a delicate citrusy dankness to this 5.2% hazy pale ale. It was brewed with a social enterprise that creates places to grow, cook and eat together, to launch at an Alternative Pride event; the can art was made by both teams from materials from the group's gardens.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wheelbarrow As A Chair

◎ Appearance

A hazy pale golden body with soft, diffuse light transmission characteristic of unfiltered brewing. The head is modest but stable, leaving delicate rings of lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, persistent fizz that sustains throughout.

◌ Aroma

Enigma hop leads with a delicate white-wine character and fresh red berry notes—ripe strawberry and raspberry dominate the upper register. Mosaic and Citra amplify a citrusy, grassy dankness underneath, with subtle floral hints that recall rose petals and green tea. The Malz base remains restrained, providing only a whisper of biscuit sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright berry fruit and zesty citrus pith, moving into a soft, feathery mid-palate that avoids heaviness. Mosaic and Citra deliver a clean, leafy bitterness that feels refreshing rather than assertive at 35 IBU. The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering notes of white grapefruit and gentle herbal spice.

◑ Finish

Medium-short and pleasantly clean, with the bitterness fading to leave a light, refreshing aftertaste. The berry and citrus notes ghost softly on the back palate, inviting another sip.

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.
