Changing Tides
Changing Tides was brewed with Fyne Ales to mark their 25th anniversary. The grist pairs 20% malted and organic flaked spelt with a touch of caramalt on a base of heritage Haná malt. Whole-leaf Simcoe goes in continuously through the boil, followed by a generous dry hop of Alora, Cascade CGX and Azure; Alora is rich in selinene, an aroma compound rarely found in hops. Sweet peach, grapefruit and splashes of pine come through, at 4.5%.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Changing Tides
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.
