Tweed

Tap to rate

Chinook in the boil gives a resinous pine aroma, and a dry hop of Centennial, Mosaic and Cascade adds a hoppy, bitter finish. Tweed is SALT's 4.0% dry-hopped pale ale. Session pales don't get much better than this, says the brewery, and calls it a true modern twist on a timeless classic.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing entry and a dry, light body that emphasizes the beer's sessionability. The bitterness develops steadily across the mid-palate, underpinned by subtle citrus notes and a lean malt character that avoids cloying sweetness.

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.
