Paradise No3
Mango and pineapple jump out of this golden pale ale, and tropical fruit carries on through the palate. Citra, Ernest and Styrian Cardinal hops sit on a base of Maris Otter and Munich malt. A core-range pale ale at 4.3% ABV, brewed at the Mellor Brook brewery in the Ribble Valley for Thwaites' own pubs, inns and hotels.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Paradise No3
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.
