"Our iconic pale ale brewed with US hop varieties — we first brewed it way back in the nineties, way before anyone had heard of American style pale ales. A clean-cut pale with a powerful hoppy finish and strong citrus aromas with hints of grapefruit." CAMRA West Midlands Champion Beer of Britain 2024 — Gold.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Iceberg

Appearance

Iceberg presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with good retention. The carbonation is evident and lively, creating a bright, inviting visual presence typical of a well-crafted pale ale.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by clean, forward-facing US hop character with pronounced citrus notes—particularly grapefruit and orange—that leap from the glass. Beneath the hoppy display, subtle malt backbone provides balance without obscuring the aromatic intensity that defines this beer's identity.

Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean, with citrus flavors mirroring the aroma and a light, dry body that never feels thin or insubstantial. Bitterness builds through the mid-palate in a measured, pleasant way—the 38 IBUs work in harmony with the hop profile rather than overwhelming it, leaving a balanced, refreshing impression.
