Sir Veillance

Tap to rate

A hazy pale ale brewed in Scotland with the Australian hops Galaxy and Enigma, on pilsner malt, flaked oats and torrefied wheat. Juicy passionfruit and ripe peach lead the nose, layered with red berry, white grape and subtle tropical notes. The body is soft and rounded, with a smooth, slightly sweet malt base and a gentle creaminess from the oats; hop character dominates while bitterness stays low. The finish is silky and lightly sweet. First released in spring 2026.

AI-generated sensory profile for Sir Veillance

◌ Aroma

Galaxy and Enigma hops command the nose with juicy passionfruit and ripe peach at the fore, supported by red berry, white grape, and subtle tropical stone fruit notes. The pilsner malt base contributes a clean, slightly biscuity undertone without overwhelming the fruity hop profile. No sulfur or yeast funk—the aroma remains fruit-forward and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and rounded, with the oats and torrefied wheat delivering gentle creaminess and a slightly sweet malt foundation. Galaxy and Enigma hops drive the mid-palate with stone fruit and citrus character, while bitterness remains restrained at 40 IBU, allowing sweetness to balance rather than dominate. The body is full enough to carry flavor without heaviness, finishing clean and dry beneath the lingering fruit notes.

◑ Finish

The finish is silky and lightly sweet, with tropical and stone fruit hop notes persisting gently on the palate. No harsh edges or astringency—the aftertaste fades to a soft, fruit-tinged dryness.
