Mr Underhill

Tap to rate

Mr Underhill is a golden pale ale hopped with New Zealand varieties, and at 6.3% it is strong for the style – well above the session-strength pale ales that make up much of the brewery's range. Citrus and gooseberry lead the flavour, and the fruit sits on a full body that carries the alcohol. It first went on tap at the Plymouth taproom in autumn 2025.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mr Underhill

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with a soft, translucent quality typical of the New England style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate persistence. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, rolling texture in the body.

◌ Aroma

The New Zealand hop character dominates with bright peach and stone fruit notes alongside tropical fruit aromatics—mango and passionfruit are evident. A citrus thread runs through, fresh and clean, with subtle background notes of pale malz providing gentle sweetness without obstruction.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and approachable with immediate peach and tropical fruit flavors. The mid-palate maintains this fruity intensity while the bitterness—moderate at 45 IBU—sits balanced rather than assertive, integrating cleanly into the overall profile. The body feels full-rounded without heaviness, and a subtle crispness cuts through the sweetness.

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.
