I Could Get Better At T*sco For A Quid

Tap to rate

A tropical, juicy and hazy session beer brewed with Simcoe and Mosaic, light at 4.5% and easy to keep drinking. The name is a tribute to one of the brewery's favourite Google reviews, a local guide who reckoned they could get better at Tesco for a quid. The brewers took the feedback on board and made this their answer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for I Could Get Better At T*sco For A Quid

◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque character from suspension of yeast and hop material. A dense, creamy white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with good retention. Fine carbonation lifts the body visibly without aggression.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruits dominate the nose—ripe mango and passion fruit leap from the glass, backed by bright citrus notes of lime zest and grapefruit. Simcoe and Mosaic hops deliver their characteristic resinous depth without overpowering; soft, clean malt provides gentle sweetness as a base. No harsh sulfur or yeast funk; the overall impression is clean and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy tropical fruit—guava and tangerine lead the entry—before a moderate, balancing bitterness settles in the mid-palate. Light body carries the flavors efficiently without any cloying sweetness; the Mosaic and Simcoe interplay creates a sustained hoppy presence that avoids harshness. Finishes dry and clean, with lingering citrus pith.

Serve at 7–10°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
