Tap to rate

A 5% double dry-hopped Pale Ale on a soft, pillowy base, with Citra on the hot side bringing sweet citrus and Azacca in the dry hop. It is soft and fruity, with a crisp zing to keep you refreshed. The base is brewed with barley, wheat and oats, which gives the soft body. It was added to the range as one of the weekly special releases in October 2026.

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.
