Hometown Pale
Hometown Pale is a session-strength pale ale at 4.1%, dry-hopped with Citra. The dry hop gives it a tropical aroma, with the citrus and tropical-fruit side of the variety setting the tone, and the flavour that follows is smooth. The beer dates from January 2018, the month the brewery dropped the Tavy Ales name and became Roam, and today it is a regular on the taps of the Plymouth taproom.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hometown Pale
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.
