NOAH

Tap to rate

A light, sunshine-ready super-session 'baby hazy' with soft, juicy stone fruit and herbaceous aromas of white wine and gooseberry. Silky oats and a pale malt base carry it, and the brewery says it delivers well beyond its 3.4%. It is the first new release of 2026, with new world hops from across the Pacific and Atlantic, dry-hopped and unfined.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for NOAH

◎ Appearance

NOAH presents a pale golden hue with a soft, hazy veil created by unfined yeast and protein suspension. The head is delicate but persistent, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass in a gossamer lace. Carbonation is bright and lively, befitting a session ale designed for immediate refreshment.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately fruity and herbaceous, with prominent stone fruit notes—apricot and peach—layered beneath white wine and gooseberry undertones. New World hops from both Pacific and Atlantic origins contribute green herbal spice and subtle citrus whisper. The soft oat base adds a creamy, grain-forward warmth without dominating the hop-driven character.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and silky, with the oat bill delivering a soft mouthfeel that belies the 3.4% ABV. Mid-palate develops juicy stone fruit and gentle herbaceous notes, while the 40 IBU bitterness frames the finish with restrained structure rather than aggressive bite. The pale malt base remains clean and unobtrusive, allowing hop character and fruit expression to lead.
