Divebomb

Tap to rate

Mango, pineapple and tangerine burst out first, followed by a grapefruit bitterness over a soft toffee base. Crystal malts supply that toffee note, and Centennial and Mosaic are the hops, with barley and wheat in the grist. Divebomb is a 5% pale ale from the Specials, built to balance the fruit against the toffee, and it is vegan.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant stone fruit and citrus—mango, pineapple, and tangerine jump forward immediately from the Centennial and Mosaic hops. Beneath the fruit sits a gentle toffee sweetness from the crystal malts, creating an inviting balance between aromatic hop character and subtle malt depth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with those ripe tropical and citrus notes, but transitions quickly into a measured grapefruit bitterness that sits comfortably over a soft toffee foundation. The wheat and barley grist rounds the mid-palate with a touch of body; the bitterness is clean and structured rather than sharp, allowing the malt backbone to anchor the fruit.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately short, with grapefruit notes lingering gently over the fading toffee sweetness. A crisp, clean aftertaste invites another sip.

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.
