Persephone

Tap to rate

Gentle citrus, sweet berry and grassy floral notes sit on a soft, rounded malt base. Persephone is a 4.1% summer ale from the seasonal core range, made with barley, malt and wheat and four hops, among them Ariana, Lemon Drop and Mosaic. It marks the return of the sun and the lightness of longer days, and it is vegan.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft citrus notes—lemon and a hint of orange zest—layered over a delicate floral backdrop of grass and herb. Beneath these hop-driven aromatics sits a rounded, sweet malt foundation with just enough presence to anchor the brighter character. A whisper of berry sweetness rounds out the bouquet without overwhelming the composition.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brief, true to the beer's light summer character, with the gentle citrus fading into a dry, slightly herbaceous aftertaste. The overall impression is one of refreshment rather than persistence.
