Fieldfare

Tap to rate

Mosaic, Krush and Nectaron hops deliver an intense canopy of passion fruit and vibrant citrus aromas over Maris Otter, oats and wheat, which give it a silky mouthfeel and natural opaqueness. Fieldfare is named after the elegant bird that frequents the Derbyshire countryside around the brewery, and is best enjoyed after a hike over the moors.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Fieldfare

◎ Appearance

Fieldfare presents a hazy pale golden color with a soft, diffuse quality characteristic of the style. The natural opaqueness comes through distinctly, with suspended particulates creating a cloudiness throughout the body. A modest white head forms and maintains reasonable retention, with light lacing visible on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright stone fruit and tropical notes—passion fruit and citrus leap forward from the Mosaic, Krush and Nectaron hop blend. Underneath lies a gentle cereal sweetness from the Maris Otter base, with oats contributing a soft, almost creamy undertone. The overall impression is vibrant and inviting, with no aggressive or sharp edges.

passion fruitbright citruscreamy cereal notes

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and silky, the mouthfeel immediately softened by oats and wheat. The palate unfolds with those same hop-driven passion fruit and citrus characters, balanced by a restrained maltiness that avoids heaviness. Bitterness registers at 50 IBU—present but not assertive, providing structure without dominating the fruit-forward profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering citrus and stone fruit notes fading gradually. A subtle cereal dryness from the Malz adds closure without astringency.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
