Divide & Conquer

Tap to rate

A hazy New England-style pale ale, brewed since 2020 and also poured on draught and cask. Mosaic and Simcoe drive the flavour: pineapple and passionfruit up front, with a piney note behind them. The brewery calls it juicy, smooth and fearlessly hop-forward, with a haze that lasts. At 5.0% it sits in the middle of Vocation's pale ales; the fruit is pronounced and the body soft.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Divide & Conquer

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale gold with a persistent, fine white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The cloudiness from the yeast is deliberate and prominent, creating a soft, diffuse appearance throughout. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the pillowy foam structure.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit leads immediately on the nose—pineapple and passionfruit dominate—layered with a distinct piney herbal undertone from the Simcoe. The Mosaic hops amplify the juicy stone fruit character without overwhelming the subtle, clean malt base. Minimal yeast presence; the focus remains on hop-derived aromatics.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced tropical and stone fruit sweetness that carries smoothly across the mid-palate. Pine and herbal notes build gradually without harsh bitterness, supported by a soft, understated malt backbone. The 40 IBU bitterness arrives late and controlled, finishing clean rather than assertive.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and moderately short, with lingering piney notes and a whisper of passionfruit. The low alcohol allows the finish to feel light and refreshing without cloying sweetness.
