Gamma Ray
Big, hoppy and fresh: Gamma Ray gets American hops in ever-larger additions late in the boil and again in the fermenter, which gives huge flavour and aroma with a juicy edge. Magnum, Columbus, Bravo and Amarillo make up the hops of this 5.4% pale ale, built on Simpsons Best, Caragold and Caramalt. It has won bronze at the European Beer Star and at the SIBA South East competition.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gamma Ray
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.
