Apple Crisp

Tap to rate

Apple leads both aroma and taste, joined by cider funk and a cinnamon spice, with a light touch of nutmeg; dry and crisp on the palate. A gold-coloured ale at 6.7% ABV and 11 IBU that starts with Pilsner and Munich malt and real apple juice, then ferments with cider yeast, with Sultana as the hop. The brewery calls it a hybrid of beer and cider.

◌ Aroma

Fresh apple juice dominates the nose, supported by a distinctive cider funk that speaks to the hybrid fermentation process. Underneath lies a gentle warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg spice, with a light floral note from the Sultana hop providing subtle complexity without aggressiveness.

◐ Taste

Apple fruit leads the palate with a clean, dry finish that cuts through like a well-made cider. The cinnamon-nutmeg spice framework persists through the mid-palate, while the low bitterness (11 IBU) allows the Pilsner and Munich malt base to provide a light, supportive sweetness. The yeast character adds an earthy, slightly funky dimension that prevents the beer from feeling one-dimensional.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brisk, with the apple and spice fading into a light yeasty dryness. No lingering sweetness—the aftertaste remains refreshing and leaves the palate wanting another sip.

Serve at 4–7°C

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.

Pint glass

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.
