Hobsons Pale
Hobsons Pale joined the core cask range in the winter of 2024 as a session pale ale built entirely on British ingredients: Maris Otter malt with UK-grown Cascade and Pioneer hops. Light floral notes and a crisp citrus character lead, carried by a mild, bready malt flavour. The body is light and rounded, the bitterness gentle, the finish clean and refreshing.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hobsons Pale
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.
