Hopping Hare
Hopping Hare is a pale ale at 4.0 %, pale golden in colour. Cascade and Amarillo hops set the tone: the nose is punchy with citrus and a fresh, grassy lift, and the citrus carries through on the palate. The body is light and nimble, the balance between hop and malt even, and the overall impression is hoppy and refreshing. It is brewed throughout the year and turns up now and then as a guest on cask in the brewery's pubs.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hopping Hare
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.
