Hormuz

Tap to rate

A peachy, lemony pale ale at 4.4%. The brewery asked its resident artist for a place on her wish list and for her favourite hops: the place was the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, the hops were Goldings, El Dorado, Idaho 7, Olicana and Sabro, a mix of English and American varieties. The beer makes no attempt to taste of the region; it simply carries the name. Sold in cans.

A pale golden brew with bright clarity and modest carbonation. The head forms light and dissipates steadily, leaving fine lacing on the glass walls. The canned format preserves its fresh, clean visual character.

◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

On the palate, peachy and lemony character carries through immediately, with a light malt body that stays crisp and refreshing. The 35 IBU bitterness integrates smoothly—present but restrained—never overpowering the delicate fruit esters. The mid-palate remains lean and bright.

◑ Finish

A dry, clean finish with lingering citrus notes and a gentle hop dryness. The aftertaste fades quickly, leaving the palate refreshed rather than lingering.

Serve at 7–10°C

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.

Pint glass

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.
