Mullet Over

Tap to rate

February's monthly cask is a dark brown ale at 4.6% ABV, built on three different malts. Biscuity, with roast and toffee aromas, fruit and roasted malt on the palate and a citrusy side fade from US hops. Its pitch borrows rugby language, from scrummage to tackle, in Hydes' 2026 series of hairstyle-themed casks.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with biscuit and roasted grain, followed by warm toffee and caramel undertones. A subtle fruitiness emerges beneath the malt, with US hop character lending a gentle citrus edge that prevents the aroma from becoming too heavy.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly sweet, with roasted and toasty malt character dominating the mid-palate. Fruit notes and gentle caramel blend with the base, while US hops introduce a citrus finish that cuts through the richness without overwhelming. Bitterness is restrained at 24 IBU, allowing malt complexity to remain the focus.
