Superdelic
This New Zealand pale ale puts the Superdelic hop variety centre stage. Expect ripe mango, sweet berry and zesty lime, then a distinctive candy-like finish. Brewed by Stewart Brewing in Loanhead at 4.1 % ABV and 25 IBU. The whole beer is built around that one New Zealand hop, from a brewery founded in Edinburgh in 2004.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Superdelic
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.
