Sally

Tap to rate

Sally is the brewery's IPA at 6.0 percent, introduced in 2019 as the first female character in the core range. The beer puts a bold hop charge over a light malt base, with a medium body and a clean finish. Pine resin and citrus zest dominate, backed by juicy tropical fruit and a slightly botanical, grassy edge, while a firm bitterness carries through to the end.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
