Full Head

Tap to rate

Full Head is a hazy session pale ale at 4.8%, brewed since 2021 in collaboration with Yoke The Salon. Mosaic and Simcoe hops give it a light, fruity flavour, and the hop character comes through clearly. The brewery names the Lord High Admiral pub as the place to find it on tap, and that is where it is regularly poured.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes characteristic of the Mosaic and Simcoe hop pairing. Underlying the hop-forward aromatics lie subtle malt undertones—gentle grain and a touch of sweetness that grounds the profile. The hop character is clean and forward-facing without sharp or aggressive edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, fruity impression that mirrors the aroma—nectarine and grapefruit notes develop clearly across the mid-palate. Bitterness arrives as a measured 40 IBU presence, providing structure without dominating the overall balance. The malt foundation is delicate, allowing the hops to remain the focal point while maintaining drinkability.
