Assertively bitter and dry.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Wade
◎ Appearance
Wade presents as a bright electric yellow, almost luminous in the glass, with excellent clarity that allows light to pass through unobstructed. The head builds with moderate density and maintains decent retention, leaving a fine tracery of lacing along the sides. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, contributing to the beer's overall sense of freshness.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with inviting stone fruit—prominent peach and mixed berry notes that suggest jam and soft fruit preserves. Beneath lies a clean, sweet pine character that reads refreshing rather than aggressive or resinous, supported by a crisp floral undertone. The aromatic profile avoids any harsh herbaceousness, instead maintaining a fruit-forward, approachable quality.
◐ Taste
On entry, peach and berry flavors echo the nose, settling into a piney, hoppy backbone that provides structure without overwhelming sweetness. The mid-palate remains lean and bright, with citrus undertones weaving through the fruit and hop character. Bitterness sits at moderate levels, integrated rather than prominent, allowing the fruited hop profile to drive the overall impression.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and inviting, with a drying quality that encourages another sip rather than lingering heavily on the palate. Stone fruit and pine fade gradually, leaving a clean, slightly sweet memory without any astringency.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Wade
Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
