Graffiti

Tap to rate

Graffiti is a session pale ale at 3.6% that aims for more flavour than its low strength suggests. A large share of Munich and crystal malts gives it a layered malt side, with biscuit to the fore and a little caramel behind. A heavy hop charge on top adds light fruit aromas and a refreshing bitterness that offsets the malt sweetness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with biscuit and light grain notes from the Munich and crystal malts, accompanied by a subtle caramel undertone. A generous hop charge adds fresh fruit aromas—citrus and orchard notes—that sit above the malt foundation without overwhelming it.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and malty, with biscuit character to the fore and a touch of caramel sweetness building in the mid-palate. A refreshing bitterness emerges through the finish, well-balanced against the malt sweetness and providing good grip for a session strength beer.

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.
