Pineappale

Tap to rate

A light pale ale at 2.6 %, brewed with freshly squeezed pineapple juice and dry hopped with three varieties. Pale straw in colour with a soft haze. Pineapple cube sweets lead the aroma, with subtle hints of orange, lime, grapefruit and coconut. Light in body, crisp, juicy and zesty. Oats and wheat are part of the grain bill, and a little coriander goes in as well. It belongs to the brewery's regular range as the low-strength, fruit-led option.

The nose leads with distinct pineapple cube sweets, delivering a confectionery, candy-like impression. Subtle citrus notes of orange, lime and grapefruit weave through, accompanied by whispers of coconut. The three dry hop varieties add brightness without asserting herbal or resinous character.

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.
