Shifting Baseline
Shifting Baseline is a heavily hopped pale ale, first brewed in 2020 and brought back at intervals since. It is dry hopped with Mosaic alone, which gives ripe mango, while the house yeast adds stone-fruit esters. Oats in the grist make the body very soft and full for the style. The overall impression is juicy and fruity, with the hops setting the tone from the aroma through to the finish.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Shifting Baseline
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.
