Atlantic Pale Ale
A golden-straw pale ale that the brewery dates to 2012 and that takes its name from the ocean on its doorstep. American hops provide citrus and tropical fruit on the nose, set against biscuity malt. The palate shows a delicate sweetness and a zesty hop character without heavy bitterness; the finish is clean with a lingering hop note. The cask version has 4.2 % ABV, bottles and cans 4.5 %.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Atlantic Pale Ale
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.
