Desperate Dan Appreciation Society
Desperate Dan Appreciation Society is a recurring 4.7% pale ale, left unfiltered and unfined and dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Citra and Galaxy. The brewery describes soft grape meeting sharp citrus in a fruity beer that is dry and moreish. Around that core sit gooseberry, grapefruit and a little passion fruit, which follow from the hop combination. The body is light, the malt stays in the background as pale grain, and the finish is dry and clean.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Desperate Dan Appreciation Society
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.
