Peckham Pale Ale

Tap to rate

Dank, floral and fruity: Columbus, Cascade, Mosaic and Simcoe carry the aroma of this American-style pale ale. Beneath them a malt bill of extra pale, Munich, Vienna and a splash of Crystal gives the light golden colour. Brick began brewing in a railway arch under Peckham Rye station in 2013, and this 4.5% pale carries the neighbourhood's name.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately expressive, led by the quartet of Columbus, Cascade, Mosaic and Simcoe hops in a dance of dank herbal notes, floral character, and fresh stone fruit. Beneath the hop forward profile sits a refined Malz foundation—the Extra Pale and Munich contribute subtle brightness, while Vienna and Crystal add a whisper of bread crust and warm stone. The overall aromatic impression is clean and vibrant, without any rough edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, fruity entry that mirrors the aroma—citrus and stone fruit notes from the Mosaic and Simcoe arrive immediately. The mid-palate remains light and refreshing, with the Malz bill providing just enough structure to anchor the hoppy character without heaviness. The bitterness from 38 IBU integrates smoothly, finishing dry rather than sharp, allowing the floral and fruity hop character to linger without dominating.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the hoppy character fading gracefully into a subtle Malz sweetness. The aftertaste remains refreshing and inviting, suggesting another sip rather than overstaying its welcome.
