Fall

Tap to rate

Rich, biscuity malt sweetness is counterpoised by herbal bitterness, while nettles and elderflower dominate the aroma. Fall is a copper-coloured Best Bitter at 4.6%, brewed with fresh Fuggles from Hukin Hops, a fifth-generation family farm in the Weald of Kent. The hops were shipped overnight and went into the brew the next morning.

◎ Appearance

Fall presents a clear copper hue with bright, warm luminosity characteristic of a well-crafted Best Bitter. The head forms densely and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving a fine network of lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting a refined visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinctly herbal and floral notes, where fresh nettle and elderflower from the Fuggles hops create an immediate aromatic impression. Beneath lies a subtle malty backbone with gentle biscuit undertones, while the overall character remains crisp and refined without aggressive hop volatility. The overnight-shipped, same-morning integration of the hops imparts a distinctive garden-fresh quality.

◐ Taste

Entry delivers a balanced interplay of rich, biscuity malt sweetness against a measured herbal bitterness that evolves through the mid-palate. The 28 IBU sits comfortably, allowing the noble hop character and subtle earthiness to complement rather than dominate. A wisp of caramel note rounds out the flavor profile, creating a smooth, harmonious whole across the tongue.
