Half Fancy
A hazy pale ale brewed with blueberries and lactose, pouring a reddish purple under a frothy, pink-tinged head. Berry and biscuit meet in the aroma, with a light sweetness behind them. Blueberry and cream carry the flavour, lifted by a touch of lemon that keeps the fruit moving. The body is smooth and rounded, and a clean, low bitterness closes it out. Fruit-forward, though the blueberry never takes over entirely.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Half Fancy
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.
