Mesmerist

Tap to rate

Mesmerist is a pale ale at low strength, the result of the brewery's experiments with beers in this range. The hops are punchy on the nose: bright citrus and grapefruit, tropical fruit and, according to tasters, peach and apricot with a whisper of pine. Wheat and oats give a soft, silky body with more structure than the strength suggests, and the beer pours cloudy and unfiltered. Bitterness is light at first and grows towards a dry, crisp finish.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and silky, with wheat and oats providing a smooth base that belies the beer's modest strength. Citrus and stone fruit flavors carry through the mid-palate with good presence. Bitterness builds gradually from a gentle start, reaching a dry, crisp finish that keeps the beer refreshing and well-defined.

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.
