Seven Sisters

Tap to rate

Stone fruit and citrus lead the palate of this pale ale, carried by a silky-smooth mouthfeel at just 3.7 %. It is brewed in the heart of the South Downs National Park, in a converted flint barn on Church Farm, with water drawn from the chalk aquifer beneath the downs, a house yeast re-pitched from batch to batch and barley grown on the farm.

The silky-smooth mouthfeel carries stone fruit and citrus across the palate with effortless grace. Peach and tangerine notes blend seamlessly into a balanced bitterness of 35 IBU, offering clarity rather than aggression. Mineral minerality from the local terroir threads through the mid-palate, keeping the impression crisp and dry.

Serve at 7–10°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.
