Small Beer
Honeyed peach and nectarine meet tropical sweetness and a refreshing twist of zesty citrus in this golden, hazy, low-alcohol Pale Ale. It starts life as a first-class IPA-strength beer and is then de-alcoholised to 2.7% ABV, keeping the flavour, aroma and mouthfeel. A cult classic of the brewery, back as a limited-edition batch.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Small Beer
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.
