Newbarns Pale Ale
The house pale ale, brewed on a base of Golden Promise malt and hopped with Citra, El Dorado and Cashmere. A neutral ale yeast keeps malt and hops in the foreground. It is fruity and citrusy with a tropical edge and a slight sweetness, and smooth on the palate, which makes for a refreshing pale ale. The hop combination has changed over the years, so earlier versions under the same name tasted different.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Newbarns Pale Ale
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.
