Off Grid

Tap to rate

A citrus pale ale: Comet and Mosaic hops bring fresh bursts of citrus and melon with a touch of tropical, over a smooth, crisp malt base of Maris Otter, Munich and wheat. The name comes from the Trig Point at the top of Pendle Hill. At 3.4% it is naturally conditioned in cask for a gentle pour, a low-strength beer brewed all year.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Off Grid

Off Grid presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a delicate, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The natural carbonation from cask conditioning produces a gentle, refined fizz that speaks to its low strength without sacrificing visual appeal.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant bursts of citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit rind—layered with subtle melon and a whisper of tropical stone fruit from the Comet and Mosaic hops. Beneath this sits a clean, soft malt base of Maris Otter and Munich that grounds the composition without asserting itself, while wheat adds a gentle, bready undertone.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing, with the citrus character blooming immediately across the midpalate. A smooth, slightly sweet malt foundation of wheat and Munich supports the hop-driven fruit, while a measured bitterness—35 IBU—arrives without aggression, balancing the overall composition. The finish remains clean 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.
