Simple Pleasures
Simple Pleasures is a light and clean Session Ale that delivers exactly what its name promises. Cascade and Ekuanot hops bring a refreshing character—bright, herbaceous notes that sit comfortably in a low-alcohol frame, making this a beer for unhurried afternoons or early evenings when thirst matters more than intensity. The body stays spare and the finish crisp, never heavy. A 5-litre mini keg format suits informal gatherings where the beer's clarity and straightforward hop profile can shine without demanding attention. Serve cool, around 8–10 degrees Celsius, to keep that refreshing edge sharp.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Simple Pleasures
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.
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.
